"Search Companion" file missing in xp pro sp2!
Hi Pat,
Try reinstalling the Search Companion files and see if that resolves the problem....... Go to StartRun and key in: %systemroot%\inf Click on OK or hit ENTER Locate the Srchasst.inf file, right-click on this file and then select Install. Have the install CD ready to insert if prompted to do so. Regards, -- Patti MacLeod Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User "Pat 01ca" wrote in message ...
