Windows 98SE (yes, I know it's old)
Internet Explorer 6
When trying to do a search, the "Next" button in the left pane beside "New"
is grayed out. When I try to customize I have two lists to choose from, one
in "Find a Web Page" and also another list for "Choose a search provider for
address bar searches". There are no other categories. Am I losing my mind?
Didn't there use be more categories? When I change to another search engine
in "Customize" it will use that search engine but the "next" button is still
grayed out and I cannot use it to do a search with another engine unless I
go back into "Customize". When I first try and search, I get a message
"loading search settings" before it finally does the search. I don't
remember seeing that before.
I've run AdAware and got rid of a few things but nothing that seemed
particularly alarming. Ran virus scanner and it come up clean.
I downloaded and installed .Net Framework a few days ago. I don't know if
that had anything to do with it or not. I also had software program that
became corrupt and I reinstalled it. Again I don't know if that's
coincidence or not.
I've tried repairing Internet Explorer and also Reset Web Setting - no joy.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can give me.
I am updated as far as Microsoft will allow with this old system. I wish I
knew if the last security update changed the search function but there was
just too much time between the last update and the use of search to be sure
of anything.
