Hi earle :-)

If you have the Google Toolbar, try the following:

To disable the Browse by Name functionality, simply uncheck its box on the
Toolbar's Options menu.

or..........

Restore default Search functions:

In order to restore you default Search functions, download and run the
program below. You will have to redo any customized features you may have
added afterward.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
