I can't turn on the index. ' It is said ' INDEX does NOT WORK.

I tried help and support without success. Statement said go to SERVICES and turn on Windows SEarch. It is not at all here. I can't find Windows search in my PC

What version of Vista are you using?  To make sure you looked in the right place, go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services, and search the list for Windows Search (I found it on my PC and it is launched and automatic and I am running 32-bit Vista Business SP2).

We will start by trying to verify some of your system files:

Go to start / programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt and click Run as administrator.

Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  He can ask your installation disc - if yes insert and continue.  It will scan some of your system files and try to fix them.  If all goes well it will finish without error, it could not repair (if it finds any errors, you can try to interpret them using http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928228 or just post back here).

You can also try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE this problem started first (if you have an idea, when he first started).  Here are the procedures: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  If the first attempt fails, try and point earlier or two.

You have a genuine drive to Installation of Windows Vista?  The next troubleshooting steps may depend on if you have a copy (or can borrow one briefly to someone you know - they are not protected against copying and the version used is related to your product key).  Or did you just a disc of recovery with a recovery partition on your hard drive (which won't help us unless we need to do a clean install and that is something that we both avoid because of all the work involved and the potential loss of data).  BTW, I do a full backup of all your data in a timely and up-to-date in case a clean installation is required (or where the problem is transformed into something bigger).  I don't know how to restore all the Windows Search service on its own.

Good luck and I hope that the suggestions above will help you with your problem.  If this isn't the case, we will have to do a repair/system upgrade to the real Windows Vista Installation disc - so try to get your hands on a copy if the procedures above do not resolve the problem.

  • I can't go on the internet, and all my software does not work

    I was trying to install the Norton Internet Security 2011 and it took about three hours to remove the old one and it never installed a new.

    Since the upgrade of my new tab does not work, I press on the + icon and nothing

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
