Hi Ramesh I done the command in the start run box, logged off then
back
on, saw no results. I downloaded process monitor and made a logfile I
think,
this is getting pretty much past my talent level. Not sure what I was to
do
with the program. I installed it, started it, than I went to start button
clicked on search and then X'ed out out of it, than created a log file. I
Zipped it, and not sure how to get it to you.

Larry,

Try running:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll

Logoff/Login back. If that does not help, send me a Process Monitor log
(zipped)

Hey Ramesh I was just woundering, if you have given up on me. I
haven't
heard from you in a few days. If you are taking a break that's fine.
Let
me
know Larry

:

Look at the "Attachments" section of the link that I posted earlier.
It
has
a file named "restore_xp_srch.reg". See if downloading and applying
the
REG
file fixes it.

Hey Ramesh I must be a little dense, because I don't understand
your
last
post. You meant the REG fix in the linked article? I don't see
anything
that
says REG Fix in the article. I tried both one and two methods. Is
there
somewhere else on that page to look for REG fix.

Hi Larry,

I meant the REG fix in the linked article. The DLL unregistration
wouldn't
apply as you don't have WDS installed anymore.

I went to the link you sent me to, and downloaded
restore_xp_srch.reg
to
my
desktop clicked on the icon, it said installed sucessfully. I
went
to
method
number 2 I copied and pastesed the regsvr32 /u
"%programfiles%\Windows
Desktop Search\wdsShell.dll" in the run command and recieved this
error
message. LoadLibrary C:\programfile\windows desktop
search\wdsShell.dll
Failed- The specified module could not be found. ????? And the
other
thing
you wanted to put in the run command
regsvr32 %windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll this was successful
also.
My search screen has not changed. I also rebooted after these
fixex
with
no
results.
My pc also does not want to remember logons and password , I
don't
know
if
the two are connected. When I type in a logon and password and
click
ok
windows asks it I want to save it, I chose yes, but it does not
remember.

Larry,

I can see TeaTimer and other tools running in the background. One of them
could be preventing the registry "write" operations. Repeat the Search
Companion reinstallation steps via Safe mode.

[Larry]

Hi Ramesh I done the Reg. reinstall steps in safe mode with no change. I
then disabled Tea-Timer and tried again,same results, no change.
I also have an issue with windows not remembering Logons and passwords,
Could the two be connected.
The Two Reg. Installs reported install succeded and the srchasst.inf did ask
for a new file that has not asked for before. It asked for Rover which I am
quessing is the little dog assistent.
I appreceate all your help on this pain in the @#$ Larry

Running out of ideas, Larry. Guess I can crack this if I work on the PC
remotely.

Also, the P'Monitor log does not contain traces for file search (srchui).
Perhaps the timing of the capture was incorrect?
