D.P,
>> I am not sure what is Classic Search
Windows 2000 style search (Use Search Asst registry value to "no")
Good luck on repair installation, and keep us posted the result.

Hello,
No, that happens only in the search window. I am not sure what is Classic
Search, but I definitely don't use Seqarch Companion. Just plain search.
Also, I tried to uninstall SP2. That didn't help. I installed it again. That
didn't help either.
Now I am in a process of doing an "Upgrade Install" from Windows XP CD. If
that doesn't help, I would haveno more ideas, and rely only on your help.
Thank you,
D.P.

>> Also, Edit menu won't open there.
Does this happen in a normal folder view? And let's know if you're using
Classic Search for Search Companion.
