28026	2001-12-19 06:13:00	I have recently encountered a problem with the search program with winxp pro. if i click on the find files or folders in the start menu or even search in ie 6 i get a message that 'a file required for the search companion is missing or corrupt and that i may need to run set up.' and all that appears is a new window saying 'to search, enter your query in the panel to the left' and all that is on the left is a line saying search companion in an otherwise empty blue panel. I ran setup and there is no mention of the search companion or apparent way to repair it. Can anyone tell me how to fix this.	Guest (0)

You might like to do a clean install after FDISK and unconditional format. It can be very character forming, but usually works.	Guest (0)
