The advance seacrh seem to have less option. Under XP we had the possibility to search inside document. Is their any tool that could enhance the search criteria other than Name; Tag. Author? So far i have better result using copernic then the serahc tool of vista. Anyone can tell if the SP1 of vista will enhance this part of vista?
I have two documents in the same folder - one an odt document created with Open office and one a doc document also created with Open office but saved as a .doc format. Both were edited and saved today. If I go into the folder using Windows Explorer both show a modified date of today, 9th June. If however I do a SEARCH for the document name (both have the same name), then the .doc document shows a Modified date of today, but the ODT document does not. It shows the Modified Date as the date of creation.Now why should that be?
I have installed Vista SP1 and my system seems much faster and more stable. BUT - I have lost the search option when I right click on a folder. How can I get it back?

I am having issues with Excel - when I create a spreadsheet, it prints fine on any computer running Vista, but when I send the file to anyone not using Vista, the margins are incorrect and the document prints on 6 pages instead of one - no matter how I have it formatted.
I just installed SP1 and now the "Search" option is missing from my Start Menu. I checked in the Taskbar and Start Menu settings in the control panel and the options are checked. I'm running Vista Home Premium on a Gateway GT5238E with dual processor and 2 gig RAM. Is anyone else having this problem?
what my system is doing, is it's just ejecting the CD tray, without me telling it to. I put in a CD, the Autoplay window pops up, then, I hear my CD drive stop reading the disc, the window disappears, and out comes the CD drive. I'm using a laptop.
I wanted to return my Status Bar inside Folder to it's default like in this picture but I do not know how and I been searching allot of threads to figure this out: [image:] how to return it to that specific Status Bar? I tried reseting to the default with no luck.
Whenever I try to open a folder that has any type of media files inside of it, the following error starts showing up after about 3 seconds into the folder:
except for a few grand issues like Search failing with special/technical searches rather than simple filename search, 85% of this OS is now great. I love it now. And can you guess how many processes show up in TaskManager? 26. ONLY TWENTY SIX. My IE8 starts up lightning fast and swings by all sites except videos, for certain sites w/FlashPlayer & Videos I enable CompatibilityView which aligns those older sites to IE8.
Applications startup as if they were already loaded into Memory, faster than in WinXP. Who knew? It feels like quad-core at 4GHz, seriously. Everything is momentary as if it were loaded from RAM This OS is still a failure, however, versus WinXP. Are you shocked to hear "failure" after my praises, do I contradict myself? No. Because most people are far from my tenacity and just by education, hobbies and profession I alway stune up things to perfection. My cheap car leaves far more expensive models wondering what rocket had just passed them on LIE Expressway. I enjoy tinkering with technology.
It took me 2 weeks (?) to tune up Vista beast to be a polished fast, bug-free beast. It's more convoluted than was tuning WindowsXP. I spent several days in Registry, GroupPolicies, SecPolicies, filesystem digging out and blatantly renaming & moving system files no one is supposed to touch.........
Ive ran all the usual virus and malware checks and all is clear. Ive checked Event Viewer I see an error every 2 minutes or so. Error message with red exclamation is: 'The Windows Search Service has failed to create the SystemIndex search index. Internal error 1, 0x800700b7, Failed to add Gather Application: Windows>.'' After this warning icon shows error message: 'The Windows Search Service is attempting to remove the old catalog.' Next another warning icon shows message:..........
I've got an apparently "broken" search installation. So that I can skip through the normal "click the folder you want to index" type of answers, it's way beyond that. Let me give some background first. This is a new installation of Vista x64 Ultimate on this machine. I just installed it a little over a week ago after I got a blue screen of death that wouldn't allow any type of system restore, etc on the prior install. My prior installation on that machine was a Vista Ultimate x32 bit. The prior installation had the OS on the C: drive and I had moved "My Documents" out of a Windows XP onto the D: drive (D:My DOcuments).
In that prior installation, I left all Music, Videos, documents etc. under the original layout and just pointed the Vista "music", "documents", etc folders to the sub folders. I had no problem indexing on my prior version. I have a Vista 64 bit Ultimate at work as well and IT has no problem indexing even under the default locations..........
The new interface in Office 2007 has a great new look but finding your favorite feature can be a little difficult at first. Microsoft Office Labs offers a helpful utility called Search Commands that brings search to the ribbon. Can’t find a specific feature? Just search for it! ....
I just install IE8 on my laptop, and when it came time to set-up the search engine, I told it to use my current set-up, but I just lost the Live Search, and everytime that I try to install it back I get a weird website called BING, which feels like the Live Search site has somehow being hacked.
Read the article bellow, My own experience with windows desktop search 4 on XP was that of disgust. It sucked up 70 MB of ram with its 4 processes, Its a pile of crap like all vista inspired software.. after living on 2 of my computers for 2 days I removed it .. (I had tried the previous version too and didnt like that one either.)
When I open Vista Mail, it receives messages that were emailed to me. But when I click the Send/Receive button from inside Mail, I get an error message saying Check for new messages was not completed successfully.
Whenever I try to print something from the web, I get a 'Save file as' window that shows 'File name *xps' and File type 'XPS Document'. I cannot delete them and I am unable to print because of it.
Can anyone help me?
I have tried Search for xps and get no answer, i.e. it is not shown as being in the computer. I am completely baffled on how to get rid of it.
I was working on my 39th page of a txt document opened by wordpad when by accident I deleted most text and hit save, I tried recovery didnt do anything. I am using windows vista premium edition how can I get my work back?
Yesterday, I opened a document (Office Student 2007) from my e-mail account on the web (not Outlook)
I clicked "Save" repeatedly throughout the day and was never prompted to select "Save As" and when I X'd out, it did not say "Are you sure you want to close without saving?" so, I assumed all was well. However,when I went back to open it, it wasn't there. I searched all the folders, hidden folders, temp internet files, etc. but cannot find it!
I was clicking "Save" so it has to be saved somewhere, right?

I sent a document to the printer. For some reason, it isn't printing. So, I've deleted the document from the Printer window. And nothing else will print, because it's sitting there blocking the queue. How can I get Vista to delete that document from the print queue?
Cannot see a Win 7 MS newsgroup so I thought I would ask here, When I use Start Computer I can see all my drives such C: D; the card reader slots and the external hard drive. All but one of these display with an icon that look like a hard dive. But C: display a document icon - rectangle with top right corner folded and holding a 'window' with 6 coloured circles. Any reason you this should be? It is not causing any errors I can detect but looks odd Windows Home Premium 64-bit on an HP computer
Presently my Windows mail opens documents in WordPad, however aii documents come in scrambled this way and I can't read them. Is there a way to change how Windows Mail opens my mail (not WordPad)?
