In windows XP Home Edition, running MS Office 2007, I get the following error: windows search protocol host has encountered a problem and needs to close

Every time I have open internet explorer, I get the error message that the research protocol has encountered a problem.

It occurs intermittently.  MS error report indicates a problem with searchprotocolhost.exe

How can I fix?:  Anyone know?

My recommendation, you use Windows XP, uninstall the Windows Desktop Search and never install it again.

Option 1: In Add/Remove programs with the box checked next to 'Show updates' above checked locate "Windows Desktop Search 4.0" in the list and uninstall/remove it. "
   
Option 2: If the above fails, you can use this method to remove...
  
1. click on Start , type cmd.
2. now, in the result of the research with right-click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.
3. type regsvr32 /u "%programfiles%\Windows Desktop Search" and press ENTER.

For users of Windows XP for most it does, IMO, is slowing down the system.

    The best way to solve this maybe just create a new user account, transfer your personal data to this account, and then delete the old account. Make sure that you perform the system restore after you did the new account and everything works fine. To purge the system restore, simply disable it then again. Be aware that the creation of a new user account is not the means to get rid of malware. But it is perhaps the best way to get rid of some of the after effects. However, I recommend you scan with Malwarebytes before running these instructions. After scanning you may not create the new account.

    In addition, Jose is correct. Good number of new forms of malware prevent the start in safe mode. Trying to force booting in SafeMode with msconfig, you end up with a boot loop.

    Hi Jaaz76


    Method 1:

    You can perform a security analysis and check if there are viruses or malware present. Check out the link below to run the scan and check if this helps-

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Method 2:

    Also I suggest you perform a SFC scan and check. To Perform a Scan SFC -

    a. click Start, click programs, on Accessoriesprincipally made, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    c. a message indicating that "the system scan will start. Be patient, because the analysis may take some time

    d. If all files require a SFC replace will replace them. Hopefully though you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    e. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    Check the link below for further guidance on scan SFC - mentioned

  • Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close, heartbreaking.

    Recently, while ripping the cd to Windows Media Player 11 on XP Service Pack 3, I'm frequently getting the message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem and needs to close."  It happens usually during the second or third disc.  I then close and reopen and am immediately able to rip the CD.  Sometimes the player will immediately be closed as soon as I click on "start rip."   Any ideas?

    The same thing happens if you rip to MP3 or WMA?

    Post here the technical details of the accident. Go to Start- run , type eventvwr.msc , and then press ENTER.

    In Event Viewer, access to the application log and look for an error in the list, there should be two entries for the last crash. Double-click on these two events and copy/paste their description in your post.
