Hi;

When I click on Search with my mouse pointer, nothing happens. I am
using a 6 months old Dell Dimension computer running Win XP Pro.

Would appreciate any suggestions as how to restore it.

Thanks,

Elliott Novak
 
had the same problem....this might help you....i was messing around with the
settings...<i had never reset these at all> and changed the setting 'Without
Index Servicing' in the 'change preferences' section of windows search and
what do ya know.....it started working right away. i went ahead and set it
back to where it was and it still is working. i guess it was just hung there
for no reason........but i'm sure happy to have it back working again.
Thanks to all who tried to help...sorry to waste your time chasing a ghost!
i love this forum and it has a wealth of information and a lot of
well-informed people. i would come here long before i'd think of calling a
'tech support' person...usually end up explaining way to much to them about
computers anyway...lol...
 
Hi again;

I followed the first link and that was no help.

In your second suggestion, it is not clear where you changed the
settings -- i.e. where did you start and using what commands. I
would appreciate any clarification.

Thanks a lot,

Elliott Novak
