no spotlight & endnote preferences

[Rosemary Horton]

My husband's brand new macbook has an interesting problem..rather  
annoying.

There is a spotlight icon in the top left corner but when he clicks  
on it nothing happens, no little box,no big box,

Anyone got a clue how to fix this?

This started because Endnote closes every time he clicks on  
Preferences. I though junking his Endnote preferences might fix it  
but I couldn't find them

So one problem turned into 2
