Hello,
Have a malfunctioning Windows XP SP2 "search function".
At some point in the search it will become stuck in a sub
folder. When the stop button is clicked the program will not stop.
Use Ctrl-Atl-Delete and stop process, program window will go but the
Explorer.exe will continue (50% + cpu use). Need to reboot to stop.
Used sfc /scannow. Did not change search behavior.
No other known problems.
Appreciate assistance.
Thank You.
Take care.

I would run scan disk on that drive, sounds like theres something
corruted in there, also run defrag and see if that helps at all.

Hello,
Thank You for the reply.
No help with the suggestion.
Have downloaded and installed Agent Ransack.
Any other thoughts?
take care.
