• Windows 7 Search is not working properly

  I am running Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) with Office 2007. Computer with a CPU Core2Duo with 8 GB of memory.

  Windows search does not work properly.

  • A search in Word/Excel 2007 (when you try to open a file) shows no results, only the category headers under "search again in. Only when you select search again in 'My Computer' all the files appear in the 'My Documents' folder.
  • Search in Outlook 2007 works very well.
  • When you use search in the Menu 'Start', none of the files from the "My Documents" folder will be displayed, but files everywhere else will be displayed. Do the same search and then click on 'My Computer', only the files in the "My Documents" folder will be displayed.

  I tried rebuilding the Index index, the hotfix, change 'GroupBy' registry and registry keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Search] later reconstruction deletions. Nothing works.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

• Search do not work properly!

  Hello! I have that I use search criteria to search for data in DB. But the search will not work correctly.
  
  When I search using the ' search all areas: "so I can get the necessary information." But when I add attributes and try to search then I get incorrect results, see search form: http://my.jetscreenshot.com/2677/20120820-stms-117kb
  
  I want that if I add attributes 'The genetic resource Type' and 'Regional District of the forest' and enter the data, then my search engine search results that is common of these 2 fields added.
  
  My search criteria you can see: http://my.jetscreenshot.com/2677/20120820-hdyg-141kb
  
  In the search criteria, I use jointly OR, I I change it to and THEN above example works fine when I add 2 fields in the advanced search, but then a search using "search in all areas:" do not work.
  
  Can we say where I'm wrong, what to add or change in my search criteria, so that everything works?
  
  If you do not understand something or need more information, please let me know.
  
  Best regards, Debuger!

  To do this, you will need to change skin. Depending on your version (that you don't tell us), this is more or less work.

  You need to change the following descriptors

  af_query. LABLE_CONJUNCTION = Match
  af_query. LABLE_CONJUNCTION_AND = all
  af_query. LABLE_CONJUNCTION_OR = Any

  I hope that you use 11.1.2.2.0 as you can add the descriptors for the property resource bundle skin file. This file is created when you add a skin to your application. If you are using an earlier version, you may need to implement a ListResourceBundle and add it to the definition of the skin to the Trinity - config.Xml.

  I had these problems and many others using DVDs to make the backup of files.

  Please save you time sitting in front of the computer, the power to the machine with the DVD and the aggravation of not working do not after all.
  Invest in an external hard drive for backup of files. It is the most effective way.
  These days, a 1 TB external hard drive can be had for less than $100. It's money well spent.

• Windows gadget icon does not work properly

  When I put text as 'small' size (under control panel-aspect-display), "CPU meter" gadget work properly with nice icon.    However, if I set the size of 'medium' text, the gadget "CPU meter" icon turns into 2 ugly boxes.

  I am using Windows 7 32 bit.

  Please help and thank you for your time.

  Hi Regina,.

   
  Thanks for the status update.
   
  CPU meter icon that shows the CPU usage and load will appear ugly/blurry when you increase the size of the font in the middle.
   
  The problem may have arose the possible reasons:
   
  1. all by increasing the size of the font, the user can enabled the option of Let me choose a level of scaling for my monitors.
   
  2 and the option to change the size of the text was disabled due to the previous option being checked.
   
  As the gadget supports only two sizes and because of the options as there are bad for you.
   

  I suggest you make changes only with the change only the text size.

  Also, you can post the screenshot of the question:

• Windows 7 Search does not work - only index several elements then stops

  Hi, my first post here.

  I am running windows 7 64 bit on my new PC with all the latest updates installed. I have problems with the windows search tool. The tool detects files but not others and indexing is incomplete. I've been to the dialogue "indexing options" and have rebuilt the index several times and I even changed the location but it indexes only several hundred articles (normally 250-350) then stops and it is. I have thousands of photos and music files and the search tool is not find an any of them, but interesting, that it seems to not find what seems like all my program files and folders, what any of the other locations, even though I checked all the places I want to be pegged as photos, music, videos, etc in the "indexing options" dialog box.

  My computer is a Dell and I had a problem with it a copuple weeks back and the operating system must be reinstalled and I wonder if this could have something to do with it. Other than this problem, everything is fine and I am very happy. I have the latest version of McAfee antivurus and did a complete analysis of the system and have no problem there either...

  I really like to get the search engine works again, at this point when I do a ctrl + F for find, he can't find anything or even appear to be working away or by train. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.

  Please let me know if you have any ideas that I really want to get this function to work.

  Kind regards

  Kelvin

  I found the answer. It's a problem of incompatibility with McAfee Security Suite 2010, factory installed by Dell.

  I've tried EVERYTHING! Nothing has worked, search forums etc and after all that I uninstalled McAfee now indexing and seraching is fantastic work.

  Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

• Windows 8 - frequently does not work properly in suspense/questions

  I'm very frustrated with windows 8. It is not that there are so many problems; I had XP, I'm used to it. Frustrating, this is how it is difficult to solve or fix the problem. I spent hours online reading and download, the setting of the obscure details...  That's enough I was forced to buy this when they gave up that bad. I would like to at least it work. Here are a few things I do deal with - please help me solve this problem.

• Modules window opens but does not work properly

  It started a year ago when I got FF 2.0 and I thought it would be itself correct when I updated to 3.6, but it didn't.

  I have several add-ons that I wanted to delete. When I click on uninstall, they stopped working and the window Add on said that they would be removed to restart FF, but they do not and are still visible after a year or two.

  I have no script and wanted to turn once to see if it interfered with another program. By clicking on the button disable nothing to do, so I have to click on uninstall then it stops working, and then click on disable to activate again.

  If I click on Options onno the script, it crashes FF and I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the FF.

  Is there a way to put this back in working order?

  I don't know of a fix for this, but you can try creating a new Firefox profile:
