there are couple of question you may answer:
1. have you upgraded your windows to SP2?
2. do you login with the admin power?

in my experience I right click on the bar (where the start buttonm, clock etc are) >> properties >> start menu >> classic menu >> advanced start menu button and search for the display run and click on the box next to it, similar to the search ...........

good luck

For the record, I have exactly the same problem: neither Search nor Run appear and all the symptoms are exactly the same... and I am using an account which is a Computer Administrator account on a home computer. So if anyone comes up with a solution to the problem, I would be grateful and if I find anything out I will post it here - Sam

upgrade to professional version then

kryyst

1) Go to comand prompt
2) type regedit
3) Check to see if the following exists
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Name: NoRun
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
4) If it does, delete it.
