When you use the Find on this Page… option in the Edit menu, or use the CTRL + F shortcut in Internet Explorer 8, the Find bar may not display. The space where the Find bar is to appear may be expanded correctly, but the Find bar does not show up and the toggle does not work.
Also when you click the Favorites Center button, the Favorites, Feeds and History tabs may be missing.
These problems occur if a module is not registered in the system. Run the following command to fix the problem.
Important: If you’re using Windows Vista, you’ll need to run the following command from an elevated Command Prompt.
