start, search problem

[Guest]

When I click on search the computer freezes and start no longer functions. Use ctrl-alt-delete to shut down. When I restart everything works until I click search and then again the freeze. How do I fix this? Thanks very much. Paul

Search - Freezes

To disable the Indexing service: Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services.
Double click Services and find the Indexing Service. Double
click/properties/Stop. From the Status Type Box, select Disabled.

If it switches back at boot:

Disable the Indexing Service (Line 42)
