Under the start menu--the search function does not work--Under My computer or elsewhere it works fine. Per some google hints--re ran jscript,vbscript and urlmon dll's--still doesn't work (are they only for XP?) Checked Tweek UI and search function is checked under desktop--What now? Any suggestion from anyone? It's not as if it doesn't work at all--I can search by going to MY Computer--but it is annoying.

What happens when you use it from the Start Menu? Have you tried a System Restore to a date before this started happening?
Life's more painless for the brainless.

When I click on search from the start menu --nothing happens And my system restore does not work--When I last tried to use system restore it marks progress about 3/4 of the way and then stops. Don't know why. Have another two computer running XP so I haven't tried to fix system restore on the ME computer. Any ideas about system restore failure? Any ideas about the search failure?
