Re: Search Options from Search Explorer Bar in IE6 Missing on Win2

Listen, I have my own computer repair business. I have seen and been called
about this problem just about everyday this week. Most of my customers would
not even know how to look for IE7, let alone install it!!! Just today, one of
my customers who used to do IT support for a large company had the same issue
with his search as well. I guess we all went to our computers in our sleep
and down loaded IE7. I don't think it was any of MS's updates this past week
that caused it. But maybe?
Im listening.......

Doesn't this mean that you did install IE7? That would seem to me to be the
only way that it could cause you problems, if you had installed it. How
else could you connect the two?

Just confused.

Brandub,
I wish it were as simple as just uninstalling IE7. However, as
Rick stated, I don't (that I know of) have any IE7 bloat on my computer. I
never did intentionally or knowingly download and/or install IE7.

Also, my system does not have a "srchui.dll" file. Is that an
XP
file? I run ONLY Win2K on my Machine. Or was that file deleted by whatever
clone that was unknowingly installed to take the place of the real search
program that formerly existed?

Galen, please this.

First of all BETA's should be tested in seperate partitions from your own
boot OS (IE; so when you update your Boot operating system (Win2K SP4
patched, IE 6.0.2800.1106 patched) with IE6 files it doesn't replace your
IE7
beta files).


#2 IE7 beta has it's own forums to address your issues and comments. When
you installed IE7 there should have been a shortcut to the forum and
support
from the browsers favorites menu or in the system IE folder.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY!!

" > (Galen) Is there a way to restore the program associated with the
Search Bar
back to the way it was (and should be) when IE6 was first installed?
(Win2K SP4 patched, IE 6.0.2800.1106 patched)"

1.Yes there is. get rid of your IE7 beta.
2."Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview will only run on Windows® XP
Service
Pack 2 (SP2) systems" as it says right on the download page in bold
letters.
2.Roll Back to IE6 or uninstall IE7
3.a/Try to register the search assistant with
Start>run , type:
regsvr32 %windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll
and go.
or
b/find the search assistant file "srchui.dll" in your system and double
click it to install the driver in the registry.

Good Luck.

Hi,
I am no longer getting any search options -- Dictionary,
Encyclopedia,
etc. -- nor am I able to customize the search options on the Search
Bar.
Also, now when I close the Search Bar to maximize the IE window and
then
click on the Search button on the Standard toolbar to re-open the
Search
Bar, all of the previous search results are gone! I must re-enter the
search
criteria again!!



This did not happen before -- I was able to re-open the
Search Bar to continue to search the previously listed Web pages (If
the
IE/Web page was left open). From what I have read on the IE-general NG,
I
believe that the IE7 bogus beta vomit version of the search program has
hijacked and crippled the search engine program of IE6. (A result of
using
automatic updates?)
