Search function will not work

[SpiritSister007]

Okay, I can get on the internet straight to my home page with no problem but I cannot do a search. Unless I have the exact website addy it says "page cannot be displayed", if I click on search it opens and says the same thing. If I try to configure the search it pops up a new window and shows the msn home page again! I have spybot and hijack this and adaware running windows 98 se, Defender Pro anti virus and I cant find anything wrong.

I downloaded the program startdreck and (I am brain dead) I cannot figure out how to post it here with out typing it out, which I can do but it will take me some time. I dont use alta vista. Where do I get the addon for adaware, I cant do a search to find it. Lucky enough I had the forum in favorites or I couldnt have gotten here either. I tried the restore to default thing and it didnt seem to make a difference. It shows msn as home page and msn search bar and google as search page (which is rather annoying since I am not partial to google but I can live with it). Well I tried saving the startdreck log and it saved but when I opened it to post it here the info was not anything like what I saw on the stuff I saved. Just a list of single words going down with single (for the most part) numbers. I will try to figure out how to post it , I am such a slow typer it will take me a while to type it tho.

this is it so far

I downloaded the vx2 plugin and when I open adaware it says bad entry point and wont let me run it <sigh>. Here is the startdreck log
