• Windows Search service does not (Windows 7)

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
  Whenever I try to search that I am asked to turn on indexing, and I do.
  Because it is a recurring event, I studied further in indexing options.
  Indexing options said "indexing does not work" and and only allows me to enter the advanced options.
  Automatic troubleshooting futher gives me error measage "Windows Search service does not..." "Not fixed".
  I checked the services and tried to force start this service and get "error 3: the system cannot find the path specified."

  Can someone help me with this service?

  Security of Windows 7 is a PIA and what my problem was. "Indexing does not' and my inability to start theWindows Search service has persisted despite all these tips above and much more.

  When I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data and took possession of it (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/), I was able to restart the Windows Searchservice. Subsequently, indexing ran and worked.

  We need the value of the securities of the ProgramData (C:\ProgramData) directory in order to stop this _ to interfere with the installation of programs and, often, the execution of programs and services. Right-click on C:\ProgramData and select Security, then the set of permissions to allow all permissions (http://www.blogsdna.com/2159/how-to-take-ownership-grant-permissions-to-access-files-folder-in-windows-7.htm) and the problem disappeared. (Note C:\ must be path of your window or use your default root.)

  Thank you Microsoft Support for your irrational, frustrating security measures and the fact that your support team has no idea. You have not been able to write a user friendly OS from XP and probably since MSDOS. Too bad I hate Apple more than you.

  6 hours of BS to understand this.

  I hope it works for you.

• Windows Explorer search feature does not work on a PDF file

  I've upgraded to WINDOWS 7 this month. As in the past I am still investigating several cases filled with PDF files for specific strings in the PDF file. The new feature of windows search is not finding files. I have all the indexed folders and have put the 'Options records' both 'in indexed locations... ". "and"always search file names... ". ». Niether option seems to work. I find that the search for a set of folers containing docx files work so I suspect something in the way the new alogrithm of WIN 7 search interacts with the type of PDF file: maybe something to with the recording of the PDF file to the operating system time?

  In this very basic problem any help is appreciated,

  Fitz

  I am also unable to search the contents of .pdf with Windows 7 files.  Check indexing according to the instructions of Ronnie above Options I have noted that, while the .pdf file has already been fixed for the indexing of content Description filter column shows "Registerd IFilter not found."  I did a bit of research and it seems that Adobe is including the iFilter in its Adobe Reader, but not for 64 bit systems which is what I am running.  A 64-bit filter is available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025, but I have not tried.

  We are all ONE!

  I tried some of the solutions that offered you, but I think what was my problem was caused by the presence of the index on an external hard drive and when the computer has been restarted the drive letter of the USB drive was not the same.  If I remember well, it was a problem that I wasn't yet able to rebuild the index.

  I now have the index on my hard C at the level of the root drive.  I was about to point to the other half of a 16 GB flash drive which is also USB, but Windows Vista Home Premium does not only because it appears that are considered removable flash drives, but external USB drives are not presented in this category.

  Currently I have about 74 000 items indexed.

• my Windows Media Player does not work all of a sudden... any ideas?

  When I click on the Windows Media Player icon, nothing happens. When I put a CD to play, nothing happens. I just used it to play music over the two days... what would happen to fail?

  Hi bunkysmom1,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  Method 1

  This problem occurs because the Windows Media Player library database is corrupted.

  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

  (c), select all the files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

  Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note  Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) output Windows Media Player.

  (b) click Start, click run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

  (c) select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  (d) restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 3

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  Uninstall Uniblue Powersuite.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner.  Remove everything it finds.

  Reset.
