search puppy lost and regional settings

[exlaval]

guys

i've got 2 nagging problems

1) somehow i lost the preferences in the search applet including the puppy,

can anyone help to undo the damage

2) regional settings, no matter how hard i try i cannot unload one of the

languages i installed, although it's set as the unicode language, it does

not allow me to flip back and forth (between english and french)

thanks for the person that can give me a lead on how to repair the damage,

thanks

1) open up the search window and go to change preferences on the left pane. the first thing you'll see is "With an animated screen character".

2) sorry, don't know about this one.

if you really think you have damaged parts of windows and the above doesent sove your problems, go to start, then run, type CMD and hit enter. in the command window type

sfc /scannow

put the windowsXP cd in, if you have installed SP1 you will need a slipstreamed Cd (see guides section at the top of the page)

windows will scan and replace any damaged or altered system files for the default ones, this should fix your problem if the above options dont work.

good luck
