Description:
In using Sherlock for the first time, I got an error message that read, ".... network error" after it was sent off on a search on the Internet.
I was online at the time I told Sherlock to search on a phrase.

Hi Carol, welcome to Nowonder, I'm robertw.
There are a few possibilities for the root cause of the error. Follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Boot using your Mac OS 8.5 CD.
2. Delete the Find preferences in the Preferences folder inside your system folder.
3. Reboot from the hard drive and retry a Sherlock search. If the problem persists, continue on.
4. Reboot from the Mac OS 8.5 CD and do a custom install of Sherlock.
5. Reboot from the hard drive and retry a Sherlock search. If the problem persists, continue on.
6. Reboot from the CD, delete the Internet preferences from the Preferences folder inside your system folder and reboot. By deleting the Internet preferences, you will have to reconfigure some basic internet preferences such as your default browser, signature files, etc. As such, this should be your last step.
