The search function of WindowsXP may fail when system files are destroyed after system killing and optimization operations, or when a program is installed. The specific performance is as follows: after the "search" function is executed, the system pops up an error dialog box, prompting that "the file needed to run the search assistant cannot be found. You may need to run setup.

The solution is:

(1) Click the menu to find "Run", and then enter "Regsvr32 jscript.dll" to restart the computer. You will find that you can use the search function.

(2) This method does not need to restart the computer. Just open the Explorer to find the "explorer.exe" process and end it, and then enter "explorer.exe" in the new task to load the jscript.dll correctly.

(3) Start-Run-Enter CMD, press enter, and enter as follows:

Regsvr 32 jscript.dll (enter)

Regsvr 32 vbscript.dll (enter)

Regsvr32mhtml.dll (enter)

Restart the computer after correction.

(4) Start/Run-enter regedit to open the registry editor, navigate to [HKEY _ Current _ User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Resource Manager \ Cabinet Status] and create a new string "Use Search Assistant" on the right, and set its value to No.

(5) Open Notepad and enter the following contents.

CD/d“% SystemRoot % \ System32”

Regsvr 32/ USA /msxml3.dll

regsvr 32/msxml3.dll

export

Then save the content as a. BAT file and run it.

(6) If the above method doesn't work, it can be solved by re-establishing a new user and then logging in with the new user.
