Search option not working on SP3

Hi
The search option does not work in the main page of Windows XP, SP3. The dog appears but there is no option for typing the file to be searched etc.
Control F works on documents and pdf files but not for searcing for a file on the computer.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
S
