Unable to use the search assistant

Hi, my name is Alex and i have a problem when i try to use the search
assistant either from the start menu or from the standard button in "my
computer". When i select it, it displays the bar from the search assistant
but instead of showing all the options, it only displays a grey space and in
the section where it´s supposed to show the title of the window, it shows the
text "Search Companion".

Can anybody help me, i would appreciate that a lot.

Thanks.

Re: Unable to use the search assistant

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831430/en-us
Several dialog boxes are blank

If that doesn't help, then click Start, Run and enter each of the following
commands, as shown. You should receive a response for each that the DLL or
OCX file was registered successfully.

regsvr32 wshom.ocx
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
