I'm having some problems with third party software and was hoping using
system restoring would hep but it didn't.
I've also notice that I no longer have the Search command in the context
menu
when I right click a folder in explorer.

Any help will be appreciated

Search link (present in the right-hand side of the Start menu) is removed when you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Also, the Search context menu item is removed.

There are other ways to launch search. For more information, read this article.

If you wish to restore the Start menu Search link, check this post for a registry edit.

Microsoft removed search from these locations (not the computer) in answer to
legal pressure from third party venders so that they could integrate their
search programs, if desired.
