Problem with search in Windows 7.

I have trouble with the search in windows 7 I want to help with.

The two subjects that I found useful but still does not work are http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/partial-search-with-a-alphanumeric-filename/88af5142-cbe3-4fdd-a0d7-c417a099b9df and http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/windows-7-search-does-not-find-partial-matches/6e6df6b0-b1ff-4bc6-b8c0-569fd57f6dd9. Also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965711(v=vs.85).aspx is of no. real help.

I tried the above but the right solution does not work for me even if it worked for them.

I have a lot of problems with the search

In addition, any word with the first letters does not work. In the search for trials, if enter test Yes, register is not. It happens when you search for content or name.

But sometimes even this rule is broken. If enter the name (including the first part) - the file does not always display (and I manually look at the file in the list - I have even opened the file.) If there is).

A moment another weird is when I type (name: 'power he don't know) I would be able to find the file "power he knew not18.
but the type (name: "power he don't know") I would not find it.

I also want to know what happens if I only know the last part of a file name, for example, I tried (name: * peter) and I also tried (name: * peter *) still does not work on the test name - testpeter.testing.txt

In another case (content: ~ * ometime *) does not work, also tried to use content: (ometime) to search for the word "sometimes" in a txt file content.

Please note that the partial search in option file in folder option is 'ON' in all cases.

Somehow JUST DID AGAIN TEST I have a new file called testing.txt with only a word marcosoft inside, and I can not even find the word even acro with * free *.

I know the name or content exists because the files that I have tested it with are txt files that I specifically create a new test case.

I want to be able to look up the correct name. If even the old win 98 can search for the last part of a file name, then why not windows 7?

Thank you

It work?

content: ~ = cab

If for some reason any Windows 7 Search will do the work for you, there are many freeware to try alternatives:

xsearch/easexp.com, mythicsoft.com/agentransack, locate32.cogit.net, jam - software.com / ultrasearch, tools.tortoisesvn.net/grepWin.html, voidtools.com, mcrenox.com.ar/filefinder, fsl.sytes.net/ssearchxt.html

    Separated from this thread.

    Joachim

    When first pose the problem? Was it before or after the December updates?

    KB3004394 and KB3024777 appear in view update history? Or do they appear in installed updates?

    Gerry, thanks for your post. I have the same problem as Joachim started this thread. I am running Windows 7 sp1. I have a Dell computer and it's certainly a legitimate copy of Windows (confirmed computer 'properties' and it is enabled).

    By your post, I saw just to update and the KB3004394 (installed on 12/10/2014) and KB3024777 (installed on 12/12/2014) show as comfortable. I usually leave the Windows download updates automatically and I install them to stop. I watched the second update and according to Microsoft.com:

    Install KB3024777 to fix a problem with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    The KB 3004394 update which was dated December 10, 2014 can cause additional problems on computers that run Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This includes the inability to install future updates. This new update is available to remove KB 3004394 from your computer.

    My problem is, as of today 14/12/2014, I still get the pop up "this computer is running not windows genuine', even with KB3024777 installed.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

  • Problems with latest updates Windows (KB) do not install & repeated notifications via the taskbar icon

    Hello everyone,

    In my view, there are many people who seem to have a similar problem to mine, although I was unable to find an answer to one of my questions in this post.

    Description of the problem:

    Although my Windows Update is defined on download & install updates during the night hours every day, the latest updates, KB26333880, KB2572073and KB2518864 are not be installed.  I went to the Windows Update site to check my editing history.  He showed the green/white checkmarks next to all 3 updates.  The record also showed that updates have been tempted 3 times during the night.  After clicking on the button "Express" on the Home Page, the results show 3 above updates, but show "0 bytes', then '0 download time. '

    To me, this indicates that there is no update to download, despite the yellow Shield of Notification of update continues to appear in the taskbar.

    Corrective measures attempted:

    1. I tried to download / install twice unsuccessfully using IE8 and FF (including restarting the computer).

    2. download & run the program MS Fixitattempted, but received a message which read, "an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later." No. error code has seen with this message.  (I could RECORD the program on my desktop... just couldn't run the establishment).

    3 tried to search for the presence of these updates using start > run > %windir%KB###.log (where the # is the individual number of update KB).  Every time - a message appears indicating that the file is not found.

    4 looked at the Add/Remove Programs list (with the Show updates checkbox checked).  No updates KB mentioned above could be found.

    5 with SAS, MBAMand Outpost Security Suite Pro scans revealed no malware/security issues.  (SAS and MBAM are used only as scanners on request).

    This problem with the updates does not download & repeated notifications being indicated in the taskbar has occurred many times before.  On this occasion, I called Microsoft several times before finally, my computer remotely accessible support person and spent about 50 minutes to fix the problem.

    (Also, it is noted that almost every support person I spoke with has always tried to tell me that MS is not help with the problem of this type.)  I had to be rather several in my reply... tell the person that MS IS in fact provide assistance free security-related Windows updates.  They now provide free assistance is unknown). Besides... I have more a phone number for States anyway.

    My questions to the community:

    1. is it possible to download & install these 3 updates?

    2 is there an explanation as to why MS Fixit program will not be installed, and if so, are there certain corrective measures I can take which will allow me to download & run this program?

    System Specs:

    Desktop Dell Dimension 3000 Tower;  WIN XP Pro SP3.  2 GB OF RAM;  3.00 gHz CPU;  Outpost Security Suite Pro.  MBAM Pro (on request only).  SAS (on request only);  SpywareBlaster;  IE8 & FF

    Thank you for your time and help, review!

  • 610: HP TouchSmart 610 - sound problem with update of Windows 10

    Given that I've updated for Windows 10 I lost the sound on my PC. In Device Manager, the IDT High Definition Audio Codec audio controller is not available. Watt I can do about it?

    Hi there @Fger

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you have a problem with sound after upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

    In Device Manager, does show an audio device any or is it an element appearing as an unknown device? If there is an unknown device, then try to remove and then search for the hardware changes and see if it detects your audio files.

    Then, if necessary, you can let 10 Windows find compatible drivers or updated using the following method:

  • Problem with iTunes on Windows 10 12.4.1-

    Recently upgraded iTunes to version 12.4.1 and now my older iPod (a classic and a Nano) will not be synchronized.  New devices (iPhone, iPod Touch etc.) seem to be good, but older devices show as 'corrupt' attempts to restore the iPod do not seem to work, and now music has been deleted during the restore process, in my opinion, it is a problem with the new update running on Windows 10.  I installed iTunes 12.4.1 on a Win7 machine and two older iPods have been recognized and synchronized well - isn't the device - still on the machine Win10 it still shows up as damaged files no matter how many resets / reboots etc I do... someone else has this problem?  Yet all the patches?

    Yes - same thing here. Windows 10 and my iPod Nano 4th generation syncs not - says it is corrupted. When I plugged on my Macbook, it was fine. Maybe we can install old version of iTunes?

  • Satellite Pro C850 - problems with WiFi after Windows update 8.1

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give some advice on a problem I have.

    Had an adjustable C850 Pro for a few months and worked well on Windows 8.
    I myself am then harassed and intimidated by Microsoft Update in order to install Windows 8.1 and in a moment of weakness, I succumbed (got sick of the nagging).

    Since that time, my wifi is very intermittent; either I'm on another computer write this and the laptop is essentially not connected to the internet.

    For some reason any (although I didn't try it before), I can not connect via ethernet either, so I think it's probably the driver problems. (I also tried to connect the public wifi but fails).

    I tried to install the driver WiFi Toshiba 8.1 but that has not solved the problem.
    Then I noticed that I'm supposed to install a bunch of drivers in the order.

    Maximum setting to do it, but the first package (associated with bluetooth) said I have to remove the current driver... I try by "turning off", then "Uninstall" but 8.1 seems to re - install automatically and I don't know how to disable this option (I can try to delete the driver file, I guess, but I'm sure 8.1 covered too and will probably launch a drone to try me out ", if I do). *

    Any kind soul there suggestions on a way forward? Pls.

    I see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now. :(

    Hello

    > I don't see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver, you will find all the instruments that must be installed in the correct order and Windows 8.1 driver!

    I opened a new window in the main window of Firefox. The new window is nothing like on the main window of Firefox 4 Beta. And when I have tabs in a new window, the URL doesn't change. Infact, it changes nothing in the tabs. It remains that if I change it manually.

    I do not encounter this problem in the main window of Firefox. If I open a new window of hand. Why is this?

    You may also notice the tab I'm the and the URL is displayed in the image of the new window. You can see what I'm talking about here.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    If your computer is actually turn off and isn't just pass in "Sleep" or "Hibernation" during a scan, and this happens only when you run an analysis, then I must say that yes there is a problem with this security on this computer suite.

    Personally, I'm worried about the security suites.  They developed gradually bigger and bigger, which requires more system resources, and when they fit well with a particular operating system, they can interfere with its normal functions.  My preference is to use a good antivirus and Windows Firewall.
