When you use Windows Vista Home Premium search, no results wouldn't come

When I opened early and try to get whatever it is, there's nothing at all. Or if I tap a file that I know is indexed I try advanced search, select all and fill in the appropriate information and also check that the fi not indexed box. I then start search and he seeks but nothing can't and never has. When it says try search files that does not work either. I do not understand why the search box never showed a file that I know exists and is indexed, or more importantly why nothing comes up at all? Anyone know what could be the problem? Hope you get this feature to work. I use Vista Home Premium and Explorer 8.

Hello


Method 1:

The most likely reason is that you are looking a limited set of locations. Indexed locations, all of the files used by default, includes most of the places common you might want to search for. However, you can extend your search by adding additional locations to the current search in the search folder. Here's how:

a. in the search pane, click Advanced search.

b. click the menu location , then everywhere.

 

Method 2:

Also if the index looking for files that you know problems must be located in a location indexed; You may have to re-create the index. This can take a long time to complete. To rebuild the index:

a. open indexing and Search Options by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.

b. click Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

    Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

    It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

    Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

    Help?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

    Hello

    You will need to make a direct download of the SP1, SP1 is no longer available via Windows Update.

    You don't say what that 'little' version of Vista you have (32-bit or 64-bit) and x 86 in your question is the 32-bit version:

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > it will tell you it.

    Select download OK "bit".

  • Restore factory settings doesn't work does not and did not reinstall Vista drive, download Windows Vista Home Premium

    Original title: Vista

    I need to re download windows vista home premium because: 1-workstation is not come with a disk and 2 - my system back to factory settings does not work

    Hello

    Here are the different methods to reinstall Vista; See suits you the method...

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Upgrade in Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

    I am considering the upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate. I already bought the software Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at a great price from Circuit City when they were going out of business. I am currently using Windows Vista Home Premium. I need to install a program called SolidWorks 2008 CAD - 2009 in College and this program is already bought and in my possession. Family Premium is not compatible with this program. I really don't want to go because I believe that it will lose the ultimate software, but I think, that I have no other choice in order to use my copy of SolidWorks 2008 - 2009. So I have a few questions related to it. Is there a way to get around this, and if not, is there something I need to do or uninstall until I try to install this upgrade? I can't afford to have any problems during this update because I need every day my computer for school. Is a one time installation were I will not be able to use this ultimate software on another computer ever? Thanks for your help.

  • Need advice/help on Windows Vista Home Premium OS

    Hello. I use Windows Vista Home Premium for 2009. In the last months, I was faced with a lot of problems and I was wondering if I should re - install the operating system to eliminate the problems or is it better to upgrade to a newer version of Windows? My PC is too slow, it has recently been virus-ed, and every once in awhile, I get an error message saying "operating system not found '. Another problem is that some of the USB ports/CD readers simply do not work. I tried to install/upgrade to update drivers based on the information I see on the forums here and it works for a while, but later goes back to send me some *. Would appreciate some advice/help in this regard. Thanks, M.

    Hi, Meh17,

    "Operating System not found"

    This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    • The basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.
    • The hard drive is damaged.
    • Sector 0 of the physical disk has an incorrect or malformed master boot (MBR) record.

      Note Some third-party programs or the alteration of the disk can damage an MBR.

    • An incompatible partition is marked as Active.
    • A partition that contains the MBR is no longer active.

    Contact the manufacturer of your hardware

    Perhaps your best bet is contact the manufacturer of your computer or your hard drive. The manufacturer may have a utility that you can use to perform a more detailed analysis for the damaged areas of the disk and help verify the correct BIOS settings. However, the damage on your hard drive can be severe. Sometimes, this means that your only solution is to replace your hard drive.
