Search Companion--Unexpected error.

I have been unable to find any info on this problem.
Your kind assistance,Richard


Hi Richard,
Open a run command and type in:
regsvr32 jscript.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 srchui.dll click [OK]
Reboot your machine and see if the Search engine will work okay.

If it doesn't then try to locate this file:
Srchasst.inf located here:
C:\Windows\Inf = look in the right pane/windows and see the file and right
click it you will get a list of options one of them Install please select
this to install the file and reboot your machine, does it help?.
