"Search" function not working
For some reason now I cannot use Windows 2003's Search feature. When I click on the "Search" icon/program in the start menu nothing happens. Seems to have happened on some of our Win XP machines as well.

When I try that SearchMenuFix.exe it says
Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
The registry fix did not work either.
