Re: Response to Rob

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi!

I looked (using the 3rd option on your response) and the search assistant is
there. It is listed. I can actually type in a search and get text results on
the left side of the main window on the computer screen, but the problem is
that I do not see the thumb-nail little pictures that normally display on the
right hand side of the monitor screen along with the web site names that I do
see on the left side.

I am not too computer knowledgeable. I had a similar problem at work and the
technician there removed Internet Explorer and re-installed it. I wouldn't
know how to begin to do that! However, even after the re-install, my office
computer is running so slow that it drives everyone crazy, including me.

Any other ideas? I really need help!

Hi,
Open a run command and type in:
regsvr32 srchui.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 vbscript.dll click [OK]
regsvr32 jscript.dll click [OK]
Reboot your machine does this help bring back your search companion?.

If it didn't try this:
Open a run command again and type in:
%systemroot%\inf click [OK], it will bring up a window with all the
INFs listed, locate this inf: Srchasst.inf file and right click it then
select install from the list.
If I'm going in a tangent here try to right click on the toolbar (empty
space) and select Customize.. option and see under current toolbar if the
Search if there, if not you can add it from Left window.
HTH.

Hi!

Just looked. No, the Restricted Sites, sites has nothing listed at all.

Please, don't throw in the towel yet. I am ready to go crazy here. Been up
all hours and don't know what I can do -- I have to do some work from home
for which I need to search the Internet.

I have Windows 2000 Professional installed on my IBM NetVista 8305-29U
computer. This problem started after I installed the latest updates from
Microsoft: KB938127, KB936021, KB936782, KB937143, KB938829, KB921503. I
later uninstalled all of them, after the problem started.

At the same time I installed the August malicious software thing from
Microsoft, which cannot be uninstalled.

What can I do? I am really desperate here!

Hi,
Last option.

Tools>Internet Options - Security tab, Restricted Sites, Sites button. Is
*.msn.com in the list of restricted sites.

Regards.

Hi Again:

I checked what you said.

(1) I do not hear a click sound other than the normal keyboard sound when
I
check "Show Search Preview."

(2) I checked "Active Scripting" on the Security tab. It is enabled and I
never changed it.

(3) I looked at Norton's AV settings and I cannot see anything that might
disable scripting. Also, I never get any question from Norton's about
allowing scripts to run.

Is there anything else? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

When you click the check box to "Show Search Preview" do you hear a click
sound.

I think I know what is happening...

It appears "Active Scripting" has been turned off for the Internet
Zone....

Tools>Internet Options - Security tab, Internet Zone, Custom button,
scroll
down the list and find "Active Scripting", choose "Enable".

Also check your Norton settings for any script blocking settings ( I
don't
know where to look in Nortons as I haven't used it for a while). You
should
get a message from Nortons before Internet Explorer runs a script...
something like "Internet Explorer is attempting to run ....., do you want
to
allow this", you should choose to allow Internet Explorer to Allways run
scripts.

Regards.

Hi!

Thanks for answering but, sorry, the "show preview (right)" box is
checked.
I never touched it. Despite that, I do NOT get the thumb nail pictures
on
the
right side of the monitor screen. I am about to go nuts here! Any other
ideas? I ran a LONG antivirus check just in case and nothing comes up.
