Search for files or folders...

[Mike Zadeh]

I just upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. Now,
whenever I attempt to search for a file (Start -> Search -

for files or folders), I get an error message stating

that the facilty is not available. Then, I'm asked to
insert the Office 2000 CD. What's going on, and, what does
Office 2000 have to do with the search facility? Help!

Don't upgrade from Win98 to Win2000 - do a fresh installation
instead.

Hi Pegasus.
Top of the morning to you.
Or is it morning where you hang your hat?

You'd be better off with a Clean Install of W2K.
It may be fine right now, but somewhere down the
line, possibility of having trouble (and it's my
luck it would hang up before I had a good backup of
my data and other settings, etc.
