Indexing Service
[[Indexes contents and properties of files on local and remote computers;
provides rapid access to files through flexible querying language.]]
[[Indexing service is a small program that hogs HUGE amounts of RAM and
can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process
indexing and updates lists of the files on your system, so you can search
for them quickly, but it's completely unnecessary.]]
Indexing Service
[[This service always has been a major resource hog. I NEVER recommend
having this service enabled. Remove the function via the "Add / Remove
Programs" icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs). It uses
about 500 K to 2 MB in an idle state, not to mention the amount of
memory and CPU resources it takes to INDEX the drives. I have had people
(and witnessed it on other people's computers) report to me that the
Indexing Service sometimes starts up EVEN while the system is NOT
idle... as in the middle of a game. You may feel, as I do, that this is
unacceptable. If your computer suddenly seems "sluggish," Indexing
Service is usually the cause of it.
Safe Setting: Disabled

I have Windows XP Pro and while I was converting a video file this
window poped up.
CISVC.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
the inconvenience. etc etc etc...... CLOSE. Ok, I press close.
I let the program finish and check to see the new file. No new file, ok
reboot the computer Windows is running ok for about 3 minutes and it
pops up again. Now I'm just looking at my D drive partition so I close
it again. Did a search in Google on it, now I know what it is. Go to
Event Viewer and that tells me Faulting Application,Faulting Module and
at Fault Address 00004fcc.
Now this just keeps happing every time I close it it pops up again and
again etc etc.
What should I do besides doing a XP repair.
Thanks
