Cannot Be Found":
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q319949

Click Start | Run and type "regsvr32 /i c:\windows\srchasst\srchui.dll"

1. Disable any anti-virus program, any BIOS anti-virus, and any 3rd party
system tool that monitors files.
2. Run SFC /SCANNOW.
3. If the Search is not fixed, perform a repair installation of Windows XP.
