Windows Search 4.0 and it gets to halfway through before adjourning an error and won't go any further

I tried to install Windows Search 4.0 and it gets to halfway through before adjourning an error and won't go further.  What can I do?

What is the exact error message you received?

Make sure that all the latest updates and service packs are installed.

If you have any previous version of Windows Desktop Search, remove from Add/Remove programs and try to reinstall.

  • When I click on Outlook Express, all I get is the blue 'title field' then the hourglass and it won't go any further than that.

    When I click on Outlook Express, all I get is the blue 'title field' then the hourglass and it won't go any further than that.  The blue box stays there indefinitely, and all other functions on my PC just slowing down.  Any ideas please?

    original title: Outlook express open used

    Glad you got it work & you are the very welcome, but some tips to follow in order to avoid this in the future, if you don't mind.

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • Windows Defender is disabled and won't restart.

    For some reason my windows defender has stopped itself. I tried to turn it back on without success to date. After trying the reactivation, the answer is to try to do it manually, I tried that, but still can't sem to make it work. Help a poor old retired. My e-mail is * address email is removed from the privacy *. Thank you to use my email if you can certainly help, it may be easier for me to have to find this site.

    original title: can NOT TURN WINDOWS DEFENDER BACK.

    Hello

    Windows Defender does not have a Firewall.

    If Norton edition is a Suite of Internet security, not just an AV, it has its own firewall, and you have disabled Vista firewall to prevent conflicts.

    And this has been explained to you by a previous contributor here, Norton disables Windows Defender, which he is supposed to do.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Please read all answer of Bruce Hagen again.

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:

  • Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

    Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

    All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

    The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

    • Configuration of the default folder options.
    • reconstruction of the index
    • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
    • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
    • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
    • I checked this registry key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
    • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

    It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

    Frustrated!

  • Hard drive of my computer Acer failed and I need to get media for Windows Vista. Where can I get?

    Hard drive of my Acer computer has failed... blah!

    Hard drive of my Acer computer has crashed.  Acer will not give me the Microsoft Vista software to use with the new hard drive, I need to have installed (my computer is 4 years old, and Acer said that he was in front of a 3-year window...), and there was never any instructions to create recovery disks (of course, I discovered that these recovery disks do not work in all cases).  I am reluctant to spend another $200 for another (! *!) Vista disc.  I already had to replace the power supply and memory on this Acer upgrade.

    What are my options?

    You can buy a 'Full Version' edition of Windows 7 to Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store.

  • Windows Search vs. traditional Search/Research Assistant

    I just started using Windows XP - Service Pack 3 (with my lenovo Vista downgrade option).

    Whenever I hit Search I get a large "Windows Search" window that I don't understand and find very little practice. I always had success using traditional search (or search companion) and prefer. Whenever I want to search then, I select "Research Assistant", which opens another window.

    It is sort of make my default search page the traditional "Search Companion"?

    Thank you very much in advance for the help of someone.

  • Somehow Windows Search has disappeared from my computer. How can I reinstall it?

    My Windows search is missing.  I need to reinstall it.  How do I do that?

    You must answer the questions asked by Elizabeth23 as much as you can to see why your Windows Search is missing.

    If these links of relocation do not do it for you, here are a few instructions to reinstall Windows Search, which is useful if you have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which has the same Service Pack that your version unspecified.

    There is an extra effort for Windows Search become missing.

    You have now or have you ever used third-party products on your system where the product description includes one or more of the following descriptive words:

    cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, Inspector, clean, tune up, speed up, fix up, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. one click fix, new, intuitive, errors, stop crashes, stop errors, improves, allows you to save money, risk free, guaranteed or any third-party program that has an icon that looks like a gear, pinion, belt holder, key, key, screwdriver or plunging arrows?

    If so, this could be the reason that Windows Search is missing.

    As you go through the reinstallation of Windows Search, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.

    If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

    Navigate to c:\windows\inf, and right click on the following file:

    Srchasst.inf

    Choose Install

    If you cannot see the srchasst.inf file, configure your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

    Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the c:\windows\inf\ folder and the c:\windows\inf\srchasst.inf file.

    Make sure that you do not attempt to use this file: srchasst.pnf - you must use the file srchasst.inf instead.

    Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

    You don't need absolutely a CD to reinstall Windows Search, because files must already be on your system somewhere if Windows Search was working before.

    If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

    If you cannot find the files you need, identify the missing files and then a beautiful person can put them on their SkyDrive and you can download and save on your system and then point the installation there.

    Here's how my system works when I reinstall Windows Search when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

    When you are asked:

    msgr3en.dll

    Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache

    When you are asked:

    Courtney.ACS

    Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\chars

    When you are asked:

    inetpref. XML

    Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\mui\0409

    If asked:

    nls302en. Lex

    Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache

    When you are asked:

    Rover.ASC

    Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\chars

    When you are asked:

    Balloon.Xsl

    Point installation c:\windows\srchasst\mui\0409

    Once installation is complete, restart your system and see if your Windows Search is now functional.
