Windows Explorer: blank/empty search window

[jake.pinneberg]

Under Windows XP SP3, everything seems normal except for the Search
Assistant window of Windows Explorer. It contains nothing but a
cancellation
'x' in the upper right!

I've checked the registry per Microsoft support, and the keys look
perfect.
The explorer.exe is identical to one that works in a different
computer.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Thanks in advance!

No content in the search menu.

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 %Windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll

All three regsrv32's reported "success" -- but they didn't solve the
problem.
Same behavior. Any more suggestions out there?

Thanks again,

Several dialog boxes are blank (similar to the other suggestion, but
with other repair suggestions):
