• Somehow Windows Search has disappeared from my computer. How can I reinstall it?

  My Windows search is missing.  I need to reinstall it.  How do I do that?

  You must answer the questions asked by Elizabeth23 as much as you can to see why your Windows Search is missing.

  If these links of relocation do not do it for you, here are a few instructions to reinstall Windows Search, which is useful if you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which has the same Service Pack that your version unspecified.

  There is an extra effort for Windows Search become missing.

  You have now or have you ever used third-party products on your system where the product description includes one or more of the following descriptive words:

  cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, Inspector, clean, tune up, speed up, fix up, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. one click fix, new, intuitive, errors, stop crashes, stop errors, improves, allows you to save money, risk free, guaranteed or any third-party program that has an icon that looks like a gear, pinion, belt holder, key, key, screwdriver or plunging arrows?

  If so, this could be the reason that Windows Search is missing.

  As you go through the reinstallation of Windows Search, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.

  If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

  Navigate to c:\windows\inf, and right click on the following file:

  Srchasst.inf

  Choose Install

  If you cannot see the srchasst.inf file, configure your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

  Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the c:\windows\inf\ folder and the c:\windows\inf\srchasst.inf file.

  Make sure that you do not attempt to use this file: srchasst.pnf - you must use the file srchasst.inf instead.

  Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

  You don't need absolutely a CD to reinstall Windows Search, because files must already be on your system somewhere if Windows Search was working before.

  If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

  If you cannot find the files you need, identify the missing files and then a beautiful person can put them on their SkyDrive and you can download and save on your system and then point the installation there.

  Here's how my system works when I reinstall Windows Search when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

  When you are asked:

  msgr3en.dll

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache

  When you are asked:

  Courtney.ACS

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\chars

  When you are asked:

  inetpref. XML

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\mui\0409

  If asked:

  nls302en. Lex

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache

  When you are asked:

  Rover.ASC

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\chars

  When you are asked:

  Balloon.Xsl

  Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\mui\0409

  Once installation is complete, restart your system and see if your Windows Search is now functional.

• My firefox has disappeared from my computer. I tried to reinstall, but it won't work. How can I reinstall the program?

  The program has disappeared from my program list. The only thing he is an empty folder of Mozilla. I tried to re install several times but can not get fire fox for running or even provide an icon to launch it.

  It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/firewalls
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating

  Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if this will install Firefox properly.

• IE8 has disappeared from my computer and I can't retrieve it or download it successfully.

  Works fully update Vista HP on a gateway DX4710-09, Pentium Dual core E5200, 6 GB of RAM DDR2, HD 640GO with lots of space empty.

  Originally 32 and 64 bit versions of IE8 was installed and usable.  Just for a test, on 06/02/13 I installed and set Firefox as default browser but do not delete IE8 or other than to replace it with Firefox by default.  I used Firefox and IE8 such as required and all worked well for a while and then a few days ago two versions of IE8 has mysteriously disappeared from my computer and I was not able to get a return.  I tried to download but for some reason any that does not work.  I checked the list of installed programs and IE8 does not appear here and the two icons disappeared in the start menu, as well as in the Group of quick launch.  An IE folder appears in Windows Explorer in the Program Files folder as the Program Files (x 86) folders.  The subfolders in each list of files with a modification of 18/02/13 date I think it's the date IE8 disappeared.  Being not qualified for one more, I did nothing with any of the files in these folders for fear of making things worse.  Someone care to volunteer to get out of this dilemma?
