Patti,
Thank you for the lead. The trail to reactivate the search companion was
successful. Thank you for your input.

Best regards,

Pat

Patti,

I have the same problem as Pat. When I went to reinstall the missing file
(following your directions), I was prompted to insert the Service Pack 2
disc. My problem is that I downloaded the SP2 pack (I don't have a disc) and
I can't find the SP2 pack file on my computer. I wasn't sure where to browse
for it. (If I browse, do I still have to insert a disc?) It would have
downloaded the the default site, but I do not know where that is. I really
don't want to reinstall windows.

Thank you for your help.
