MSDN search results are all just 'a'

I've got a brand new installation of Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the MSDN th
at came on that same DVD. I've installed this
combination a million times and really never had any issues. Today though I 
have one where, when I do a search (MSDN alone or within
devenv), the results listed are all titled: a - that's it, just an 'a' with 
nothing else. So, if I get 28 hits, there will be 28
rows of 'a' but each one I double click on will bring me to a help item - an
d that wouldn't be so bad if I new the name of the item
I was selecting. Has anyone ever seen this? I did a deja/google search on th
is before posting and one guy had a similar problem, but
after the 'a' I think that he had the title next to it as if the 'a' was in 
place of the bullet.

Any ideas? I tried to change the font a few times, but I just ended up with 
a big ass "Arial"ized 'a' :) One last thing, on this
install I ran into one problem which was that I had to regsrv32.exe on odt.o
lb (or something like that). I'm not sure what that is
and/or if it's related to my 'a' problem, but that did happen. Thanks, bye.

Hey Billy,

You might try to regsrv32 on hxds.dll , I think that may fix your problem.
