  Windows product activation

  When I turned on my PC yesterday I got a Windows "in normal search" box saying Windows Product Activation. Given that Windows has been activated on this computer the hardware of the computer has changed significantly. Because of these changes, Windows must be reactivated in 2 days. You want to reactivate Windows now?

  My computer has been updated there but nothing for over 2 years. I tried the virus checker & everything looks OK. Is this true? Should I wake? I am running Windows XP.

  Yes, you must activate as soon as posible!

• Search box in Windows Explorer no longer works under Vista

  I was using the search box in the right area of the Windows Explorer.

  That worked well, until I received a message (in French) I knew that "can speed up your search by indexing, click here. I got it done, and instead of a quick list of all the files (with the extension .jpg), I had a quick incomplete list of jpg files.

  Then I started to search and remove a search criteria entry to the Directory user / {username} / search /...

  In French (because my OS is in French): user / {username} / research/indexed locations

  Since then, I've seen noting, everything I typed in the search box.

  Is there anyone out there how restore the search box work?

• The search box is missing in Windows Explorer and the search is not available from the Start button on the desktop

  I want to search my hard drive for a file.

  I open explore and there is no search box, or all the options to search.

  I click Start.  There is no box that allows me to type in the name, I'm looking for.

  Any suggestions on what setting or service may be disabled or stopped which disables the search options?

  Hi jhblzk.  The name of the service is Windows Search, but even if it has been disabled, you should always see the box "search programs and files".  No harm to check though.  Press the Windows key and r on your keyboard and type:

  services.msc

  and click OK.  Scroll down the page until you find and make sure that the startup type is set to automatic (delayed start) and the service status is started.  If this is not the case, click on start and OK your change.

  If the service does not exist, go to programs and features in Control Panel and click on "turn Windows features turn on or off.  Scroll down and check Windows Search.  OK, your changes and restart.  The search box appears when you click Start now?

• Search box in Windows 7 to come with the program association problem

  I am running Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit operating system.

  For the last few months there was a problem with my search box of the start menu.  I can search for in any folder without problems, but when I type a query in the search box and select "Search everywhere" it comes up with 'there is no associated program to perform the selected action. Please install a program or, if such is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel. "I have no problem if I just type a search query in the search box and let it load suggestions, only when I hit 'search all' above the search box.

  

  I have searched extensively for a solution online, but so far running checkdisk and ' sfc/scannow' does not work.

  Thank you

  You don't do something wrong, I just use a large number of protocols in my work and have many installed applications that use them.  An example of a protocol that we both share would be the mailto: Protocol.

  Frame background bit: on the internet, you are more familiar with the two protocols, HTTP: and HTTPS:.  You might also be aware of the FTP: file transfer protocol.  To test a Protocol, you can type in your box to run and click OK to see what is happening.  For example, if you "start" text only "HTTP:" (without the quotes), you will have your browser pop open (on a blank page, since you specify nothing after the Protocol for it to open).  Even with MAILTO: causing open your e-mail program (if you have included an email address after the: brand, you would get an e-mail message préadressé).

  In any case, it seems that your research protocol has been removed. Creating a profile on the computer usually will correct it (because each user has their own set of preferences of Protocol), and then you'd have to drag your files to the new profile and make "your" again.

  But first, you might try to remove and reinstall the search within Windows System.  Here's how:

  1. In Control Panel, select programs > Turn Windows has or not
  2. Search Windows Search in the list and turn it off, click OK, let him finish and reboot as requested.
  3. Go back and turn it on, let it install and there still restart (Yes, a lot of reboot)

  At this point, it should be reset and I hope that the Protocol is implemented again.

• How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

  I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

  I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

  ...

  I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

  ...

  About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

  ...

  I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.

  

• Fonts Windows 7 SP1 Search box problem

  I bought an Acer laptop not long ago, the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I'm Chinese, so I put the location and the type of keyboard and all China. But soon, I realized that there was a problem with the search box. When its not active, the police appear normal, but when I type something in, it becomes an ugly font that I think has been used in Windows XP. I asked other people, they say its because I put everything to the Chinese, but is anyway to fix this?

  I had the same problem before. It can be corrected by:

  Under "Text Services and input languages" page where you can add different input methods, select "English (United States) - U.S." instead of "Chinese (...)". -U.S."default input language. This solved my problem.

• Corrupt Windows 7 search feature, search box is not present everywhere.

  Have tried several options, including the tour feature power, reconstruction, CHKSCN resulting in error file corrupted, but no resolution.  Anyone have any suggestions, other than to reinstall the operating system?  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Running Windows 7 32 bit

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and start safe mode.  Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan mode without failure.  To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode.  Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem.  To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore.  Click on the box that says show more restore points.
  -
  You can check the corrupted system files.  Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE, then click on run as administrator. Then from the command prompt, type sfc/scannow.
  -
  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
  `
  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and it puts regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Windows 7 - various & probably related errors / order & Search box doesn't work not + Media Player media information is not displayed

  For the last two weeks, I had problems with my user. I suspect that these are permission-related because the problems occur with my user and not the other user on my PC. Curiously however, my user is ADMINISTRATOR permissions so I do not understand why I can do less than the other user. I had the following problems:

  (1) if I go to the search box and try to enter a search string, then first the letters I type do not appear in the box but no research takes place
  (2) if I insert a CD and the Media Player is launched, I see no data media. The CD names and titles do not appear. If I use the other user on the PC there is no problem in this information that is retrieved.
  I hope someone can help.
  Thank you!

  Before do you anything else - create two additional password Admin users & create disks to reset password for each of them.

  Your symptoms are compatible with corruption on the user profile, and you don't want to get stuck without any functioning Admin accounts.

• Just installed v35. Now that the search box does not work. ??

  Today I got a message that Firefox v35.0 (Windows version) is ready to install. So I let it install. Once the installation is complete and restarted Firefox, the search box is more work. It presents suggestions for my default search engine (Google), but when I click on a suggestion, nothing happens. Or if I type the search term in directly or click on the arrow (right out of the box), nothing happens.

  If I put the search term in the URL window, it works, but I prefer to use the search box separate of the address bar.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• I use add time to find and organize research, FF34 only has no search box, how can I add a?

  I tend to use the Site search, if available, instead, bookmarks, I use "add to search bar" to make the correct xml file, then I use to organize research to the group by category...

• In the Google search box cursor flashes but is not enabled

  I asked this question on the Google forum but has been done on Mozilla forum. I know that I'm not the only one having this problem, but I've not seen a solution. I don't have any installed extensions. I do not understand how a slider can appear active without actually at work. I have to click in the search box, until the cursor starts to work.
  What is this caused by Google or Firefox?
  I use Windows 7.
  Thanks for any help.

  I think that I fixed it. I had my Google homepage.
  There is a blue icon of Google in the Firefox toolbar, and when I clicked it activates the cursor. If you right click on the blue icon, you will see an address of Google with a suffix of gibberish. I pasted everything as my homepage, and now the cursor is activated when I open Firefox.

• Firefox or Google? Search box after accidentally hitting a few key shortcut/s

  Hello.
  I cleaned my keyboard of windows 7, the other day, but this time, while he was. I had firefox (26.0) open with google (normal no chrome version). I cleaned the bottom two lines ctrl keys, enter etc & all F main lines.
  When I looked at the back of the screen, I have had a few open boxes, I just closed the and everything was fine except I have a few boring box on the right-hand side on related searches where images and additional information or research if not excessive on search that results will appear as a white box just empty but always the writing is left justified.
  photo here:
  http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/94254689/file.html
  I looked upward on the last 2 days that I could press on the Firefox shortcut keys and google I tried solutions for these, but could not seemed to see everything I tried it worked. I don't know what I did or what we call this box. Anyone know how I can get rid of it to the related results of normal default search centered with no search box with images and information on the right side it there? I ran out of ways to watch after trying many things and not knowing who it is urgent even all the buttons f again slowly one at a time. I really don't want to reset firefox I've read you can make and lose all the Add-ons and email and settings of a shortcut if I can find out who the mystery is just is harder than I thought to find this one.
  Thank you for reading.
  (p, s, I also tried the mode firefox safe so that the add ons are disabled, but it's none of them among the things that I tried to fix it)

  Hello Nicqi, this is just a feature that google adds to its search results - it is not caused by or related to press you the keys: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2620861

  in the case where you use adblock more, you can add this custom element hiding filter to get rid of the knowledgegraph box:

  google.com##li.kno-result
  

  or you can use a userContent.css file with this content:

  @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
  @-moz-document domain(google.com) { li.kno-result { display:none!important; } }
