Disabled the Windows search option and can no longer switch back on. Any ideas?

My problem:
I can not turn on WINDOWS_SEARCH with the box Panel configuration/programs/WindowsFeatures. I get error "an error has occurred. Not all features have been changed successfully. »
I rebooted and logged on as administrator with the same result. Windows Search Fixer gives the message "Windows Search is not updated... This issue applies only to Windows Search 4 or a later version. ».  Please note that I updated Win7pro64Sp1 to date. An update can't find any other updates. In addition, there is no Windows Search service listed in services.msc.
What I think caused the problem: 
I was wondering if Windows Search may use too many resources so I thought I would try disabling it for a while. I used the control panel configuration/programs/WindowsFeatures check the box to disable Windows Search. I also stopped the Windows Search service with services.msc and I believe manual setting (disabled) because I only wanted to run 'on demand' so to speak. When I realized that I had lost the search to RUN from the button box START, I have tried to re - activate the search function of Windows.
What I tried:
After repeatedly trying the FixIt tools as administrator, I looked everywhere on the internet for a few hours. Almost all refers to the Windows Search function; but I have not even listed anymore. There is some guidance on the definition of a key to RegEdit (search index finished) to 0 (in my case it was a 1), but after this the FixIt did not yet & neither did attempts to reactivate the feature. The only direction that comes close is:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2484025.
These instructions of sense, but they do not work: there are three. BLF and. REGTRANS-MS files in the C:\windows\system32\config\TxR folder as even by admin full granting rights I can not remove - the message says they are in use by "SYSTEM":

When I tried to activate the search functionality of Windows on another game of .blf & .regtrans-ms files are added:

Even with granting of control full administrator in these files I can't remove them as suggested by the KB/2484025.  I get a message "cannot complete, open in the file system."  After trying to remove them from the TxR.0 - 2 became 5 120 KB and 64 KB .blf. The old files are still there.
Earlier, I tried to start without failure/Cmd prompt mode.  Even with [...\config\TxR\ERASE/p/f/a H *] I was unable to delete the .blf files & .reg-trans-ms. The message says something like "file used by the process.

Conclusion:
I am really at a loss to go further.  I'm guessing there is a corruption of the registry that makes your computer think think search runs & locks files.
Any ideas to solve this problem. I want to just re - enable Windows Search without re-setup of the computer.
I think that the best starting point If someone can tell me how to remove the files recommended by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484025.
I tried, but my knowledge of the command prompt is not enough.  How do you delete these files that refuse to die? 

Hello

I suggest to perform a restore of the system and check if it helps.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore

If this is not enough, you can perform an upgrade on the spot also known as the name of a repair install. This will just replace the files corrupted and missing Windows and leave your files and settings intact.

Note: Remember to backup the data before performing the inplace upgrade.

Hope this helps and keep us.

  • I installed a trial of Illustrator from Adobe on my macbook pro. I want to draw a picture using the custom trace button but can not. Does anyone have any ideas how I could track custom?

    I installed a trial of Illustrator from Adobe on my macbook pro. This is the release of 2014 of the adobe Illustrator. I want to draw a picture using the custom trace button.

    I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/color pencil, drawing, in the document. I tried to scan and then placing it as jpeg, bitmap and a tiff file. I tried scanning and place then, in color and in black and white. The scan mode that I use is flat. Adobe Illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of the eleven preset buttons (e.g. photo high fidelity), but cannot me click on the record button custom. The custom trace button is gray while all other buttons are white.

    Does anyone have any ideas how I could track custom?

    Just it trace, and then change the options later. The follow-up is 'live', you can press the buttons and see what happens.

  • In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

    I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

    Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

    If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.
    I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
    In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
    Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
    There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
    As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
    Thanks a lot for your time!
