Search does not work on Vista.

• Vista search does not work

  No matter what I do, I can't find Vista to work - most of the time, the search will not find the files I'm looking for, although I can see them at the top of the list of files in the directory. I rebuilt the index multiple times with no improvement in the service. In another case, the search will find only files created in October 2009 (that is when I started using Vista), but specific searches do not work in other files, that I moved all the files in this folder to another folder and the result is the same, even if the file is renamed to something different. I also noticed that, in some cases, research fails to recognize a file named re and get back a result if I search the name of the original file (even if the file name has changed significantly).

  Simply, research of simple file names which I am accustomed to years of XP do not bring the results I need. I have same useless content search function at all. It was recommended that I find a simple program of research of third party for searches of files, but that's not really answering the question.

  I guess I would rather just turn the indexing function OFF set (that I tried), but it does not appear to improve the ability of Vista to find the files I need.

• Downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 and now edit/search does not work.

  The Question above about nearly everything.

  I downloaded Firefox 38.0.1 (I'll never learn) and now edit/search does not work. The search at the bottom of my screen bar disappeared and clicking on EDIT and SEARCH does nothing. Also, Ctl - F does nothing.

  FYI, using Windows 8.1.

  Someone actually check the compatibility with desktop computers and laptops on the news, or is it more important to be compatible with smart phones?

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/safe+mode
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  Try to rename (or delete) the file xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

• Zoo Tycoon 2 does not work on Vista 64 bit Ultimate

  When I start the game it gives an error saying that I have 0 MB of RAM installed.
  I also have a stub GPF.

  I tried to turn on DEP for all programs and added ZT.exe in exceptional cases.
  I edit "MSCONFIG" to show only 2 GB of ram.

  The issue of ram 0 MB goes, but I still I get a stub of protection error when I start the game.

  The thing is my old Zoo Tycoon 1 full collection works very well.
  ZT1 was released around 2001-2002. Whereas ZT2 came out around 2006.
  How can and more old-fashioned work fine but not the new version. I expect it to be the other way around.

  Someone at the helpdesk said MS the ZT2 game does not work on Vista 64 bit and I should install a virtual machine so that it can work in 32-bit.
  Is really the only way? Help, please.

  Hi orbit17,
   
  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.
   
  Try to turn on DEP for "Windows programs and services only" and then restart the computer and check with the game.

  Here is a link to a KB which deals with the minimum requirements of the system and the compatibility problems with Zoo Tycoon 2: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/889368

  Please make sure that your computer meets the requirements for the game and that your computer is compatible

  Also how much RAM do you have installed on the computer?
  Did you add extra RAM since the purchase of the computer?

  You can also try to run the memory diagnostic tool by using the Windows Vista DVD.

  I hope this helps.

• Search does not work in HCM9.1, pt8.52 after installation

  Hi I just installed HCM9.1 with Peopletools 8.52 on windows xp 32-bit with Oracle 11 g. This is my first install ever.
  When I connect online search does not work (when I click on search on any page that contains a search record it just shows that progress gif image but nothing happens.)
  
  I logged in using PS/PS
  
  any ideas of what I was wrong during installation?
  Here are the steps I followed.
  1-install Oracle11g
  Logic 2-installs web
  3. installation of Tuxedo and defined TUX_DIR
  PeopleTools 4-installs in C:\pt8.52 and HCM9.1 in c:\hcm9.1 n Verity
  5. manually created a database named HRSD by using initHRSD.ora and configured the listner and ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME defined and created the spfile.
  then ran the scripts in the documentation to create namespaces, roles, the dbowner etc.
  6 set the application designer
  7 - loged in Data Mover and installed a demo hcm9.1
  8 - ran grant.sql
  9 - ran pt851u.sql and pt852u.sql.
  10 configured application server and started.
  Created a new domain and configured and that you started it. 8 process start

  HCM9.1 is now delivered based on Peopletools 8.51 (since Peature Pack 1, Dec-2010), you should successfully upgrade to make it work on Peopletools 8.52. However, you've made a mistake here, you should not run rel851, but only rel852. Second mistake, being HCM9.1 > = 9.0, you must run rel852un not rel852u. These errors can explain much of the search does not work. Not to mention the copy projects and a couple of AE to run.
  Delete the database and restarting from scratch is probably the best way to make you application is working correctly.

  Nicolas.
