first thing that comes to mind is this really the problem? Anyway, one way
to avoid reinstalling xp, is to reinstall NIS and then uninstall NIS the
proper way. Also, with reference to the search window missing pane, the
toolbar with Standard buttons in the search window must be active (checked).
Then pressing the big magnifying glass toggles that left pane on and off,
nothing to do with Norton. Their also is the repair install of xp, which
works , but all patches and service packs must be re applied. Here you will
find one such explaination:
