How to solve the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Windows Search\Gather\Windows\System Index missing or invalid" error message

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Windows Search\Gather\Windows\System Index missing or invalid' error message appears after each Norton Utilities scan.

The problem is that IE frequently slows down or blocks, the Task Manager shows the CPU clocked at 100% the problem will clear for 5-10 minutes.

I am running Windows XP Home Edition with Norton Utilities; Norton Antivirus; Advance system care and Super AntiSpyware as my software security.

Anyone had any chance to solve this problem?

Thank you

Richard Boyer

  • How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

    Nice day

    How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

    with regard to my question above. I need to hold the button of power for 5 seconds to completely shut down my laptop. even restart or sleep does not work well. I upgraded a real victory 8.1 to 10 free victory by that windows app reservation offered. IM using acer aspire v5 - 573 g i7, version gt750m, Finnish keyboard

    solutions, I tried to random searches that did not work for me.
    1 unchecking quick stop to power options
    2 disabling hibernation in cmd (types a code forgot what I have)
    3. update all drivers and bios with sites acer official drivers, driver pack solution 15.8 and utility driver update intels
    4 decommissioning intel management engine components driver 11 to 9.5
    5. go to the bios and reset to the default settings
    6 make a shortcut of "shutdown" with codes e.g. shutdown /s /t 0
    7. click Update stop

    IM thinking of reinstalling windows 10 via recovery which removes applications, files, drivers, etc. and hope this solves. I can't roll back to win 8.1 because ive done this reset before you completely clean out my system of win random 8 and trashes the restore option was gone.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello/Hallo wuschel93,

    exactly what I had. Stop number appears only after a certain time the laptop running.

    The problem is INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE RELATED V.11!

    I fixed it with uninstall Intel Management Engine Version 11. Windows will then install version 9.5 automatically. After that I turned off the automatic update of the driver for this device. You can also install 9.5 without uninstalling the old one, it wil crushed.

    Other manufactures also have this problem, but while Acer is still asleep, they provide a solution (including download links):

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/sleep-and-shutdown-issues-after...

    Maybe there are any other issues that result in the same problem. But in most cases, it's the answer. The thread Starter maybe forgotten to disable the automatic driver update or made installation of v9.5 evil?

  • I updated my drivers and now my computer runs very slowly. How to solve the problem?

    I've recently updated my Intel graphics driver and my drivers Nvidia because they were terribly outdated. As a result, I am able to run some games that I couldn't run before, but my computer became very slow. Now, the startup time is significantly slower, and the worst part is that the actual performance of the system is slower. I checked in the Task Manager, and my physical memory constantly rotates between 40 and 60% (I have 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7) without any game or program being open, except the web browser and Skype.

    What is perhaps the reason for this problem? Is certainly the problem in the drivers? How to solve the problem?

    "My graphics card is GEFORCE GTX 660 M. Is it compatible with the latest driver? »

    Ah! A laptop computer. With laptops, it is generally better to download the driver from the mfg, not Nvidia.

    This is because the computer laptop mfg bring changes that can make the improper generic Nvidia driver.

    and while I always count should not slow down the system... You never know.

    "What services I need to run.


    Just to keep the correct terminology-

    Services is the area where you stopped the service of bitlocker.

    The start is where you keep things from loading when you start in Windows.

    -Most of the time what's in Startup deactivation is something personal need, but there are some things that

    I must be on the left.

    I leave the Intel common user interfaceand Installshield update service, mainly because I don't bother

    Discover what they are doing.

    I also let anti-virus, Realtek audio, software profile keyboard and a few other things active.

    I don't have Adobe Flash loading with Windows, but I don't use it a lot, and when I do the software that

    uses it it launches automatically.

    The bottom line here is that if you have software that you use all the time, it is more convenient to have it start with

    Windows.

    -Concerning the Services. This also has to do with personal preferences to a certain extent, but most things can be left alone.

    I do not use the Services tab in the Configuration of the system, because I think it's only a one time adjustment.

    (Clean boot, linked earlier, is the best tool for the verification of conflicts with Services)

    To stop or disable a Service manually, tap - services.msc - in the run command to open

    the main window of Services.

    There is an Adobe Flash update in Services that should be kept, but when Adobe makes an update

    I select the option notify me, but not to install it automatically.

    I always preferred this with any updates, including Windows updates as there is less chance of a corrupt

    Update If you're aware, it happens and do not do something intensive system while the update is being installed, particularly when an update requires a restart to complete.

    -Registry. In the control run, type - regedit - and browse the registry with the file path in the

    previous post and follow the instructions. You can save the key you are modify if you wish, that the use of the

    backup to change the value to what is current would be faster than navigating to the key again.

    -When playing around with things you are not familiar with creating a System Restore point before you

    making these changes is a good insurance policy.

    If you don't know how to create a system restore point - time to do some research.

    In fact, all of the above is covered by tons of tutorials out there in the www.

    SSD vs HDD - the specifications of the system for you the machine should be in your user manual or on the

    MFG web site.

    Prefetch is useful with HARD drive, because it improves performance somewhat, but read-ahead is not really necessary with SSD.

    and can reduce the life expectancy SSD a bit (there is debate on gravity)

    More research for more details. D

    -If you use a HARD disk and that you have enabled Prefetch, the Prefetch will be rebuilt over time, if you delete the files.

    -Here's another tip for when you are not sure of the impact of deleting files.

    Rename file/folder. You can do something like add another couple of P to the front, or a 1a which will move

    the file to the top of the window. If nothing is wrong in the next few days, you can delete the folder.

    This method protects to empty the trash accidentally and lose the file/folder.

    -Speaking of deleting the file. A great TEMP folder can slow things way down.

    Run Windows, Disk Cleanup . This will remove many files in the Temp folder.

    Or, for a full, clean, go to the - your User\AppData\Local\Temp

    Open the Temp folder and delete anything that can be deleted (impossible to delete the files that are used).

    -Defragment your HARD drive

    -Run the Zig - zag Kit you'd use again and analyze the results.

    It was a long, huh!

  • need help to know how to solve the problem

    Hi all. I'm having a problem with the curse Client. I know it is not answered here, but when I try to run it two problems come. The first is that it says that an error has occurred while trying to load a standard Microsoft.NET library in the Curse Client Xamll. It is said to the difficulty to go to Microsoft Download Center to repair my installation of .net. I can't find how to do it, I can get to the centre of download, but not sure where to look to fix. The other issue that comes up is - it say what he and my Kaspersky Internet protection can interfere although I went and enabled access by customer to curse through security. If anyone can explain how to solve the question of compensation, I would appreciate it.

    -Sometimes the error messages are not quite accurate. Maybe it's just that .NET 3.5 has been disabled in

    Windows features (this can happen if you have updated .NET to 4.5).

    Go to control panel > programs and features > turn on or off Windows features and

    Go to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 to check if it is enabled.

    -If .NET 3.5 is actually corrupted (maybe of curse, put it back), you can uninstall through programs

    and features, then reinstall .NET 3.5.

    There will be updates Windows Installer reinstallation of .NET 3.5 so. -

    Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 sp1

    How to solve the problem with the wacom tablet and the polygonal lasso tool. It does not work with a pen. I have install windows 10 and fresh, new drivers for wacom bamboo, could he makes problems or there is a problem of photoshop?

    It should do.  You use one of the buttons of pen maybe?  Just touching wheels with the pen with no buttons or modifier keys.  Press ENTER to close the selection.

    Personally I never use the lasso, Polygonal, but rather just the Lasso tool by using the ALT (Opt) to operate the Polygonal tool.  I also use the mouse instead of the Tablet for the selection of cutting edge.  It is a little too uncertain where the point will go when hovering the stylus above the image.
