Help file index in Help & Support

[Isleman]

Windows XP Home
My index help file is failing to load so instead of a list
of keywords I have a blank index box
Any ideas please

Aren't you referring to an application's help file?
XP does not use an index.
You may want to check out the newsgroup of your application.

Are you in reference to the Indexing Service for Search?
From blkviper:
"""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.
