    Thomas,
    You may have full access to the system, but the "Microsoft Search"
    (mssearch.exe) service may not as it uses the BUILTIN\Administrators account
    to access SQL Server. Specifically, Is the master the default database for
    the BUILTIN\Administrator account as well as a member of the Sysadmin role?
    When you changed it to run under the System Account (LocalSystem) did you do
    this via the Enterprise Manager's server security tab?

    You should review the following KB articles:
    317746 (Q317746) PRB: SQL Server Full-Text Search Does Not Populate Catalogs
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317746

    277549 (Q277549) PRB: Unable to Build Full-Text Catalog After You Modify
    MSSQLServer Logon Account Through [NT4.0) Control Panel [or Win2K Component
    Services]
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;277549

    If for security reasons, you or your server's sysadmin have removed the
    BUILTIN\Administrators account, you can use the following T-SQL code to
    restore similar permissions for the MSSearch service to use as it runs under
    the Localsystem account:

    exec sp_grantlogin N'NT Authority\System'
    exec sp_defaultdb N'NT Authority\System', N'master'
    exec sp_defaultlanguage N'NT Authority\System','us_english'
    exec sp_addsrvrolemember N'NT Authority\System', sysadmin

    Regards,
    John
