Re: Search Assistant Not Working Right

Yeah, I agree Bear - looking at the rest of the thread something's clearly
out of kilter beyond a normal .reg reset. I wonder if a Tools|Internet
Options|Programs| "Reset Web Settings" or a Repair IE:


"3. Another alternative for just IE6 repair if you don't have IE6 listed in
Add-Remove Programs, then in Start|Run then enter

"rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance"

without the quotes, exactly as shown (it's case sensitive), and select the
appropriate entry. More detailed info is available here: Description of
the Internet Explorer Repair Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q194177 (You may
have to re-install Sun Java JRE if you had it installed afterwards, BTW.)"


would work, or has this already been tried somewhere along the way?
