View 8 RepliesI have a 500MB CPU with 256 MB memory on a Etower machine. I am running xp home edition and I can not longer get the search feature to work. If I try and search for anything at all I always get the same thing > "Search is complete, no results to display" I get this no matter what I put in the search box or how I change the search criteria. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Also I can no longer get Msconfig to open using the "Start/Run/open" Box. I can go to the Icon within explorer itself and open the program, so the program still works but, for some reason like I just said Msconfig will not open using the start/run/open box.

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!
Just download and install the Search Commands utility and you will have a new search tab in Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

What are the rules for a case sensitive search when searching for all files and folders in XP. I have set the option, and have tried searching in both upper and lower case options, and still get the same results.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy Search Companion now calls itself Search Results and does not offer to find Pictures, music, or video, Documents, etc. Also the animated assistant is not available nor is the change preferences option.

View 6 Replies View Relatedis there a way in Windows XP to turned off searching in *.zip during the Search command? I search multiple network drives serveral times a day for files and do not need to search in the *.zip files. By searching the *.zip files the time is greatly increased. When I had Windows 2000 the search would take about 1 minute (did not search *.zip files) and now in Windows XP the search takes over 12 and half minutes (1079 *.zip files)
I did a test by making all the *.zip hidden and did the search again - averaged about 59 seconds. Unforunately, I have to leave the *.zip files as not hidden.
Any ideas?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy "Search" fonction does not start. I used it without problems for months but when asked I get now only the first window with the dog and nothing else.When I click ctrl + Alt + Suppr I get: "Search not responding".
I tried to set the system to several previous restore points: No result
when i was downloading a free screen saver i also got a "free" toolbar called Power Search and I keep getting redirected to Sir Search page, which may or may not allow me to surf where I want to go.
i used spyware and I have run AdAware (twice) and Spybot Search and Destroy and even Spyware Blaster. I have gone in to all the programs and tweaked the settings as much as I can on the free versions but nothing has removed them so far.
I have hidden the Power Search toolbar from view but it is still there. And it isn't listed in Add/Remove programs.
Is there a website somewhere that gives removal directions for this?
every time I entered a file name or search name in the box, the result came up instantly: "Searched, nothing found."
Actually, there was no time to conduct a search, the result showed up within a half second.
Meanwhile, I've tested by entering names of files that appear multiple times and I still get the same result instantly, "nothing found."
What can I do to correct or repair?
I have hp compaq nc6320 laptop recently bought. It was working absolutely fine until the day before yesterday. However, yesterday one of my friends brought his flash drive and I copied some of the documents since then I am having a big trouble. I need experts help please. I have encountered the following problems.
* Can't run msconfig, cmd, regedit ect, however, explorer can run
* tried to download antivirus software it did not let me do, I had one thought was not good enough and
uninstall it, later on I could not install the other one too. My pc is now without antivirus.
*when I use IE 7 search engine as google.co.uk it crashes meaning it opens the pages about the search title however it closes before I could get the access to them
