Search Function has changed
 

Windows 98SE (yes, I know it's old)
Internet Explorer 6

The "next" button next to Search is grayed out. When I try to customize I
have two lists to choose from, one in "Find a Web Page" and also another
list for
"Choose a search provider for address bar searches". There are no other
categories. Am I losing my mind? Shouldn't there be more categories?

When I change to another search engine it will use that search engine but
the "next" button is still grayed out and I cannot use it to do a search
with another engine. When I first try and search, I get a message "loading
search settings" before it finally does the search.

I've run AdAware and got rid of a few things but nothing that seemed
particularly alarming. Ran virus scanner and it come up clean.

I downloaded and installed .Net Framework a few days ago. I don't know if
that had anything to do with it or not. I also had software program that
became corrupt and I reinstalled it. Again I don't know if that's
coincidence or not.

I've tried repairing Internet Explorer and also Reset Web Setting - no joy.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Your not alone! This happening to allmost everyone. But not everyone. There
is no fix right now. It seems to be something microsft is doing. They control
its options.
