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. To open an elevated Command Prompt, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. (REF: How to open an elevated Command Prompt in Windows Vista)
Click Start, Run and type the following command:
Press ENTER. You should now see the following message:
DllRegisterServer in oleacc.dll succeeded.
Open a new Internet Explorer window and check if the Find bar shows up correctly.

Un grand merci à toi !

No appl, and
Gray bar only without window “Find on this Page” appear forever.
There are registry cleaner’s harm your system.
You must manually restore all the .reg files by importing them back to the registry.
If it impossible,
try restore this (only if IE8_32bit, WIN XP64 sp2):
_________________________________________
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{b5f8350b-0548-48b1-a6ee-88bd00b4a5e7}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{b5f8350b-0548-48b1-a6ee-88bd00b4a5e7}\InprocServer32]
@=”C:\\WINDOWS\\SysWOW64\\oleacc.dll”
“ThreadingModel”=”Apartment”
________________________________________
It will be saved as ___.reg file and merged to registry.
In future, “oleacc.dll”, place as ignoring word to regcleaner.
Best regards!
This is awesome! This bugged me for so long. It worked!
