When I use "Search" icon in Internet Explorer, I get "The
page cannot be found", and HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer. It used to work just fine. What has
happened? Any ideas?

Hi Gregory,

This could be due to corrupt host files on your computer.

Try these steps.

1) From the Start menu on your computer, click Search. (In
some versions of Windows®, you must click Find.)

2) Select All files and folders. (Some versions of Windows
list this option as Files or Folders.)

3) Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) in the file name
box and click Search. (Some versions of Windows list this
as Find Now.)

4) Once you locate the "hosts" file within your Windows or
WINNT directory, right click the file and click Delete.

Please make sure to delete all the files that have the
name hosts in them

Thanks
Kasey

Answer to your question:

To resolve your issue you have to delete host files from
your computer.


Here are the steps:
1) From the Start menu on your computer, click Search. (In
some versions of Windows®, you must click Find.)

2) Select All files and folders. (Some versions of Windows
list this option as Files or Folders.)

3) Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) in the file name
box and click Search. (Some versions of Windows list this
as Find Now.)

4) Once you locate the "hosts" file within your Windows or
WINNT directory, right click the file and click Delete.



Note: Please delete all the host files inculding lmhost
file. If you are unable to delete lmhost files in that
case you have to close all Internet Explorer browser and
then try to delete host files.
