Okay now I have a new problem, not sure if I should repost this.
On one computer, I changed the Internet search to "Classic". This
works! Yeah, this is what I wanted.
I like the classic search better because all the links stay on the
left side while the web pages are displayed on the right.

Now for the bad news.
I did this on another machine and now the search is blank. I
can't select customize either, because it brings up a blank
page.
How can I fix this?


Are you searching from the Address bar? When you click the
Search button on the top toolbar (the magnifying glass) does
the
Search Toolbar open as a left hand pane?

The light bulb just came on. Are you using Classic Search?

To disable the Search Companion feature and use the Classic
Internet Search feature from Internet Explorer 5.0:
1. In Internet Explorer, click the Search button on the
toolbar.
2. Click Change Preferences, and then click Change Internet
search behavior.
3. Click With Classic Internet Search, and then click OK.
4. Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.

I'm just not happy with XP's way of doing the Search, when you
press the search button (that splits the screen). The old
method, W2K, use to keep your links on the left and the
different pages on the right. Now, all the links show up on
the
right (which I find dumb because you always have to use your
back button to get back).
Also, when you use the back button, you loose the search that
was on the right side.

A Microsoft Rep sent me a registry fix. I clicked it and it
restored my registry to the way I wanted it.
Thanks.

Your welcome. How was it resolved?

I don't have any of those issues.
I'm well protected and routinely take care of those things.
Something simply corrupted when I changed the browser to
Classic mode and I can't get it back

Thanks

SWAG. Have you scanned that machine for virus and scumware?

Okay now I have a new problem, not sure if I should repost
this. On one computer, I changed the Internet search to
"Classic". This works! Yeah, this is what I wanted.
I like the classic search better because all the links stay
on the left side while the web pages are displayed on the
right.

Now for the bad news.
I did this on another machine and now the search is blank.
I can't select customize either, because it brings up a
blank page.
How can I fix this?


Are you searching from the Address bar? When you click
the Search button on the top toolbar (the magnifying
glass) does the
Search Toolbar open as a left hand pane?

The light bulb just came on. Are you using Classic
Search?

To disable the Search Companion feature and use the
Classic Internet Search feature from Internet Explorer
5.0:
1. In Internet Explorer, click the Search button on the
toolbar.
2. Click Change Preferences, and then click Change
Internet search behavior.
3. Click With Classic Internet Search, and then click OK.
4. Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take
effect.

In Windows XP, how can I revert to the good old search
window that I used in Windows 2000?

It is still set up as default. Nothing has been
customized. When I reset to default, it does the same.
I'm just not happy with XP's way of doing the Search,
when you press the search button (that splits the
screen). The old method, W2K, use to keep your links on
the left and the different pages on the right. Now, all
the links show up on the
right (which I find dumb because you always have to use
your back button to get back).
Also, when you use the back button, you loose the search
that was on the right side.

The tried to make it more sophisticated... messed it up.


message If you're using

click the Search button. Results will show in the right
hand pane.

including your home page and search pages, and choice of
default browser, without changing your other browser's
settings.
1.. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.. Click the Programs tab.
3.. Click the Reset Web Settings button.

Web Settings button
[[Click this to reset the default Internet Explorer
settings for your home and search pages, and prompt to
make Internet Explorer your default browser. Note: This
only resets these settings if you have installed another
Web browser after installing Internet Explorer and
Internet Tools, and that browser has changed the default
settings.]] --

Anyway to get the IE Browser to Preview (searched
items) on the right side while all your found links
remain listed on the left. This is one of the features
I liked better with Windows 2000, but can't do so
since going to WindowsXP.

Thanks
