XPHome - Search window is empty

When I use Start -> Search
I get a window with the dog animation, but otherwise blank and no way to do
a search.

This machine has Earthlink software and browser on it, possibly blocking it
?

I already tried reinstalling the file "srcasst.inf" with no change.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Bill
 
that article refers to reinstallation of srchasst.inf,
which I have already tried.
My winxp is already at SP2, and the download won't deal with SP1 or later.

Did you try the Hotfix?

Yes, it gave the message about the OS already being to SP2.
