search feature locks up

message from =?Utf-8?B?c2xo?= on 6 Jun 2004
When I try to find files using the search feature it locks up my computer. I have to do ALT,CTL,DEL to end the task and it tells me the program is not responding. I used to be able to use this feature and now it won't work. Does anyone know what would cause this to occur and how I can get that feature working again. I use it alot to locate files and I really need that feature. Thanks.

Did you run error scan? Defragmenter?

Where is the error scan in XP Pro? When I choose analyze in the disk defragmenter it tells me defragmenting is not needed.

Right click the drive..properties..tools tab and click the button
under error checking.

Hi,

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%systemroot%\inf\srchasst.inf

(this is only one line, separated by a space)

You will need to put the XP CD in the CD ROM

Hope this helps.
