Re: Windows Search 4.0 update crashes Search function


Last week, I migrated my data and applications from my administrator
account (that I had been using on a daily basis for all tasks) to a new
standard user account, thinking that my administrator account that I had been
using for almost a year had some corrupt system files.

I now have my Vista user accounts set up like this:

-one administrator account that I only use for computer maintenance tasks.
-one standard account that I use on a daily basis.

The Search function is working fine now.

Wow. I feel lucky compared to your problems.

I haven't found anything on the inet about problems with this update. And
since there is little response in this thread I can surmise that only a few
users are experiencing problems with that update. Maybe because we have some
corrupt OS files that Search 4.0 is looking for?

I've been running my Vista for almost a year and, overall, my Vista is
running fast and smooth. No other problems right now (except for the 1 or 2
times a month that Windows Explorer crashes for 2-3 seconds when I'm using
some old software.)


Thanks for the reply, and if you find anything regarding the Search 4.0
update, I'd appreciate it if you'd post it here or start a new thread at this
forum.

Cheers...

If it's any cold comfort, I installed the Windows Search 4.0 update
tonight on my Dell M1330 with Vista and had the same problem. The system
restarted with tons of errors; re-booted and then I got the Blue Screen
of Death and had to do a system repair (multiple steps) to get back to
the last good boot. Definitely something about this update causes
corruption.
