298655 2004-12-01 08:33:00 I've got XP Prof with Service Pack 2.
Google search responds with mainly symbols with a smattering of English thrown in.
For example, that is what happens when I type in define: followed by the word I want defined.
Alta Vista works OK.
Anyone help?
Dave.

298660 2004-12-02 10:44:00 Thanks for info.
There's been a change: "define" works OK but no change with "search"
Alta Vista works fine.
