Internet Explorer has reset this setting to your original search provider. Internet Explorer will now open Search Settings, where you can change this setting or install more search providers. </blockquote> A possible fix is listed below: <blockquote> 1. Make sure IE 8 is closed then navigate to registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders 2. Add a new “Expandable String value” inside the above mentioned key with a value name of “AppData” and a value data of “%USERPROFILE%\Application Data”. 3. Reopen IE 8 and see if you still get the error message. </blockquote> Judging by the comments already left on the blog post some people have had limited success with this fix and for others it hasn't worked at all. Another <a href="http://loveamongtheruins.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/update-ie-8-error-search-default-provider-error-a-program-on-your-computer-has-corrupted-your-default-search-provider-setting-for-internet-explorer/">possible solution</a> is to delete the registry key HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/User Preferences. Warning: This could potentially delete other customer settings you may have configured. Please post below what worked for you and what didn't. It is a very frustrating problem to say the least. Kirb on "Procedure number is out of range." http://forum.kirb.us/topic/procedure-number-is-out-of-range#post-18 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:27:06 +0000 Kirb 18@http://forum.kirb.us/ This error message appears when trying to browse from XP workstations to a shared folder on a Windows 2008 Server. "Procedure number is out of range." Does anyone know what this error message means? Kirb on "Windows 7 CD / DVD Temporary Burn Folder Location" http://forum.kirb.us/topic/windows-7-cd-dvd-temporary-burn-folder-location#post-14 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:47:30 +0000 Kirb 14@http://forum.kirb.us/ I was having difficulty finding the Temporary Burn Folder for CD / DVD writing in Windows 7. Its actually in a slightly different place than it was in Windows Vista. <code>C:\Users\{User Name}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Burn</code> This is actually a hidden system folder so you will not be able to browse to it by default. Hope this helps. <img src="http://forum.kirb.us/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Kirb on "How to embed a Video or Audio file." http://forum.kirb.us/topic/how-to-embed-a-video-or-audio-file-in-this-forum#post-6 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:31:50 +0000 Kirb 6@http://forum.kirb.us/ Its quite simple to embed audio or video content on this bbpress powered forum.
