I am curious as to whether this solved the problem. I am having the same
problem and can't seem to resolve. I am trying to execute
sp_fulltext_database in Query Analyzer and get the following error

 .. Msg 7635 The Microsoft Search service cannot be administered under the
present user account

1) The builtin\admin account is a member of the System Administrators roles
2) The MSSearch service is running under a Local System account (Log On tab
in services). I have also tried the "This account" selection using a local
administrator account"
3) MSSQLSERVER service is running under a local admin account, changed
through EM per your instructions below. I have also tried running it under a
System Account.

4) I guess I am confused about what the correct combination for MSSearch
and SQL Server is with regards to accounts.
5) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom Shalloe
