FAULTY SEARCH FEATURE
Hello
I'm having trouble getting the "SEARCH" feature to start up (the search between "Help and Support", and "Run". I've researched as many topics that I can think of ... Kelly's Korner and others. I've tried shutting down and starting back up, but it still won't work. Any one have any ideas to this situation? -- Thanks for any help ---- 25or624

Hey T.Waters,
Thanks for your response and advice. Nothing happens ... no error messages, no activity at all. I can go to "Help and Support". and it connects and opens with no problem. It's puzzling and I have tried over and over with many attempts. "T. Waters" wrote: Tell us what happens when you click on Search. In detail. "25or624" wrote in message ...

---P.S.---
One other factor, the program menu screen that has everything on it shuts off immediately.

How is your antivirus protection?
Have you done an AV scan lately? What about spyware scanning? "25or624" wrote in message ... ---P.S.--- One other factor, the program menu screen that has everything on it shuts off immediately.

Hey T. Waters....
You have "hit the nail on the head" .... Copernic is FANTASTIC .... Now, I'm glad that crappy msn "search" went out. I am amazed at the capabilities it has. I would have posted back sooner, but company came by ... I let it read through the drive, and when I got back to the pc, it was there ready and able. Thank you VERY much for the reply and the response with your answer. "T. Waters" wrote: How is your antivirus protection? Have you done an AV scan lately? What about spyware scanning?

I don't recall recommending Copernic, but glad it worked for you.
