Recurrent problem with SEARCH--terminates with a C++ Runtime error

[Ken]

Try here:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84

Thanks, John. I downloaded and installed the program, rebooted, and ran
search. I was encouraged, and ran a long search. After about a minute,
the same error message occurred. I was deflated, needless to say...

Are you running Windows Search 4.0?

I am just running the built-in Search that I access from the Start menu...

Go to windows update site and read what is printed along side the two
buttons.

 

[Randem]

Yes, but is Windows Search 4.0 intalled? If it is, try uninstalling it then
try your search again...

 

[Randem]

That tells you almost nothing about what really goes on... You cannot
believe everything the owners tell you. It takes some investigative work to
find the truth.

Perhaps if you use the express button only you may learn something.

 

[Randem]

Perhaps if you learned something you would stop posting...

 

[Unknown]

Why do you continue making an ass of yourself? Don't you have any self
respect.?

 

[Randem]

You are right, continuing to converse with you has that affect.

Never attempt to argue with a fool or idiot they will only bring you down to
their level then proceed to beat you with experience...

I am learning...

When I run Windows Search, it will almost always terminate with a
Runtime Error! Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program: C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more
information.

When I close that box, my desktop goes away (icons, task bar),
although I can continue with whatever windows are open until I am
finished, then I need to reboot.

Does anyone know what may be causing this error?

Have no idea what's causing the error, but I can fix your problem.

Abandon MS Search and use Agent Ransack. It's free, fast, and flexible.

Good! Have no idea why you're so dense and cannot understand the notes on
the sides of the buttons.
Are you just playing stupid?

Checked my programs and Windows Search 4.0 is not installed (Add-Remove
Programs list)

While I would like to figure out what the problem is with Search, I will
check out Agent Ransack. Thanks

You really expect that of Randem? He really isn't playing stupid.
