Indexing Service for VISTA Desktop Serch Stopped Working

[Guest]

I am using Windows VISTA RC1 x86 Build 5600. The indexing service for vista
desktop search has stopped working. When I opened the indexing option from
control panel I found everything is disabled and the message 'Indexing is not
running'. I tried to manually start the indexing service but still didnt
start. Any Idea why its happening or how to solve this problem? Thx.

This is a known problem. You can re-install RC1 5600 (do an "upgrade" so
you won't lose your files and settings). That worked for me.

But, as long as you are at it, you could also try an upgrade to build 5728.
That should also fix the broken search index problem.
