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

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

Update of Windows XP does not work, how do I stop the Office 07/10 updates?
For these last months, the web version of Windows Update does not work with XP. When you click on the button for Express or custom installation, the stalls of system looking for updates. So I had to put windows to warn me of updates instead of going on the site, but now it keeps wanting to download me updates for Office 2007 and 2010, but I do not own these products (I use Office 2003). I could not stop, even when I ticked the box does not warn me of those more. Finally I went to the site and found an option to disable Microsoft Update, which said I could always download the updates to the site, but I can't because he's trying to force me to re - download Microsoft Update.
What is going on? I don't like the new Microsoft Update as it keeps nagging me to download updates for the products that I have not yet owned. How can I update Windows XP only? This is very fustrating.

Hi Steve,.
Follow these steps.
Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on automatic updates. I'll explain why later.
Then, tick the option at the bottom to turn off automatic updates, and then click apply/OK.
Then, go to start, run, copy and paste this command and click OK: services.msc
In the list of Services, you can see Background Intelligent Transfer Service ?
Here's a pix what he looks like.
If it is not listed, follow these steps to register the BITS service.
Open the Windows search tool, copy / paste the following text, and then click Search: qmgr.dll
Research should show this file in the following locations:
C:\Windows\System32
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
C:\WINDOWS\system32\bitsYou might only see qmgr.dll in C:\WINDOWS\system32 depending on your configuration.
Then, go to start, run and copy/paste: regsvr32 qmgr.dll and click OK
Do the same with this file: regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll
Reboot the system and then copy / paste this command into the field run:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\qmgr.infIf you are prompted to insert the Windows installation CD, ignore this and in the dialog below, replace the path C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
If you could only see the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32, change the path to that instead.
Restart the PC and then go to the Services and you should be able to see BITS in the list.
Double click on it and then on the general tab, click the Start button to start the service manually. This is just a test to make sure that it works correctly.
If you get 2 error: cannot find the specified file, click on start, then run again and copy / paste the following command, and then click OK:
Tracking Add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS\Parameters /v ServiceDll /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %windir%\System32\qmgr.dllReboot again and try once more to start the PIECES. It should work fine now, but in the unlikely case where it fails again, run the following command, and then press ENTER:
Reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackupReboot once more and then do the following.

Hi Otto Willemsen,.
Method 1:
You can read the following article and try to reset the Windows Update components and check.
How to reset the Windows Update components?
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
Method 2:
If you still experience the problem, then you should check if an upgrade in Place of the operating system can help you solve the problem. Upgrade on the spot is a repair of the operating system installation. You can perform the upgrade on the spot if you have disks of Windows Vista retail.
Note: Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, before you perform an Inplace upgrade, you can take a backup of important data. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.
For more information, please see the link:
After the Inplace upgrade, you must activate your copy of Windows Vista.
For more information, see the following article:
How to activate Windows Vista?
Hope this information is useful.
