"Search" in the Start Menu not working

Fresh installation of XP, all updated since this morning, no unusual software installed and... the Search from the Start Menu does not even open.

By searching the web i got to use sfc /scannow, Search still not working.

Anything else that i can do to make it work ?

Other software that i'm using: Icon Packager, i have also a different boot screen using Boot Skin and i did rename "Start" for Bluesman using Resource Hacker......any one of these programs are guilty ?

Thanks

Ok, i got it, it is by changing the name of the Start button to BluesMan that Search is not working. Don't know why, it wasn't doing it before......but problem fix.
