Hi jackierae,

1. what changes were mde on your computer before the problem?
2. don't you also get an error with the message code?

I would like you to do the following to check if the problem persists.

Step 1:

Check that the search service Windows is started and set to automatic.

a. go to start > Control Panel
b. Administrative Services > Services and scroll to Windows Search and double click it.
c. make sure that it is set to automatic

Step 2:

I would have you run SFC scan to check whether the problem is related to the missing or corrupted system file.
