Problem with Windows 7 search (1 Viewer)

[Ferox13]

I got a new PC running Windows 7 64 Bit(which I'm a bit unfamilar with).

Now when I use the little 'search programs and files' and click the SEARCH EVERYWHERE option i get this error:



Now I was turning on/off indexing a few days ago and I might have deactivated the asscoaited program.

Any help on restoring this..

Thanks..

did you happen to have something like google desktop search installed?

Hmmm...I'm not sure but i don't think. Though It might have came installed and I did uninstall most of the junk software on it.

stupid suggestion, but try installing it to see if the problem goes away, then uninstall it again

No doesn't work - though I might use it til i get it sorted.

Yeah I've just started using a freeware program called 'Search Everything' and it seems really good..
Wierd that the Windows Support want to charge to give support for my OS.
