Services.msc And Help Function Not Available?

Jul 31, 2005

After removed serveral spywares, I cannot launch the services.msc (Computer management still fine, but not service page) along with "Help and support" from start menu. Also pressing F3 key in Explorer for "Find" function with result close down of explorer.exe.They seems startup for a split second and then close itself without notice. My guess is it has something to do with HTML/DHTML pages.

Lost Search Function On Pc

Sep 28, 2008

would any one know how i can restore the SEARCH function on my pc? i think my problem started when i uninstalled software, even though the uninstall went smoothly and without any obvious problems. whenever i click on START/SEARCH i get a message stating: "a file required to run SEARCH COMPANION cannot be found. you may need to run setup". i get the same error message when trying to search inside a folder.i'm running XP, and only have a recovery cd for WINDOWS, so if part of the remedy requires the full WINDOWS OS software, i'm out of luck.

Lost Search Function On XP

Jul 16, 2008

It has been some time now the find button on the start list has disappeared...The search option in the folder view of the windows explorer disappeared too and the F3 key has no effect whatsoever (except when I use it inside Firefox.then it starts the firefox page search feature).This "may" have happened some time ago when I tried the "Windows desktop search" program that I didn't like and uninstalled later?)Anyway here I am using Google desktop which is too memory hungry (its database occupies 4GB on my C drive).I tried googling the internet and found 2 or 3 solutions that failed with me .Is there a solution?

Win Explorer Search Function

Sep 9, 2005

Since moving to Win XP I have found that Win Explorer Search Files & Folders function does not work properly (as Win 98 did).I need to search a subset of the files (for example *.pas) to find a file containing a string (for example TLargeInteger). Win 98 would have found this but Win XP returns with no item found when there is definitely a file(s) with that string in it in plain text (ie not unicode). Is there some subtle selection I am not making or is the Win XP Search function broken.

System Restore Does Not Function

May 15, 2009

My computer still creates restore points (manually and automatically) and it goes through the entire process of restoring, but at the very end (after the restart) it announces "No changes have been made to your computer. Unable to restore." I tried shutting off Restore Option, to clear restore points, but that did not help. Two Registry cleaner programs don't seem to find/fix the problem, either. I have AVG Full Edition running with Zone Alarm's firewall, and Window's Defender running in background. Everything seems to work fine, but if something shows up.

Searching For My Search Function

Jan 1, 2006

At the end of November, the folks over in the Security forum were kind enough to walk me through a huge problem I was having. My computer has never been better except for one small thing. my "search" function doesn't work. The little doggy is there and if I enter something and then ask it to search files and folders (or anything for that matter), it goes off to search and then nothing happens. Eventually I get the "Program not Responding" window and when I close it, my desktop blinks off for a second and then my Norton systray button is missing.It's weird and I'm sure I deleted something inadvertently while I was getting rid of that terrible trojan. I was just wondering if someone had a suggestion so that I could restore that function. If not, I'll leave it alone because I'm just happy to have my computer back to normal almost. I thought I was going to have to throw it away until those guys saved it for me.

Search Function Goes Away - Not Able To Connect

Sep 11, 2007

It seems that this problem surfaces every once in awhile. I have not been able to connect it to any actions done previous to its occurrence. The problem is that when I attempt to search in windows I get a "Unknown error" message. In the past I have gone to reinstalling Windows but that is rather tedious. So if there is any other way to get the Search function back I would like to know what it is.

Search Function Not Working At All

Dec 7, 2006

For some time now I have not been able to use my Windows XP Search function. It doesn't even start up, from either of the two spots I use it. The first is by clicking the Start Menu, and clicking Search; the second is by right clicking My Computer and clicking Search. Both do nothing when clicked (at all, not even an hour glass or anything). It's almost as if teh executable for the function has disappeared. I have been pulling my hair out for a couple months now. I have searched many forums and have tried the fixes such as registry keys; running (regsvr32 C:WINDOWSsrchasstsrchui.dll); running sfc /scannow; kellys-korner help pages;

Restore Function Not Working

Jan 3, 2006

I have an unusual problem with the windows restore function on my computer. It seems to still be making automatic restore points periodically along with the ones that I create. However, I am unable to restore to any of the earlier time points. I have used all of the virus and adware/spyware programs on my computer to check for problems and they all report my computer as clean. Does anybody have any idea of what might be causing this or any suggestions to repair this without reinstalling the entire system again?

The system I have: Hewlett Packard 533w, Windows Xp SP1, Intel Celeron CPU 2.00 GHz, 256 MB RAM, Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller. have also installed the unofficial patch for the WMF flaw. Installed on my computer: Norton AV 2005, Zone Alarm Firewall (newest free version), AdAware SE Personal, Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4, Spyware Blaster 3.5.1, Spyware Guard 2.2, Ewido Anti-Malware 3.5, Arovax Antispyware 1.0.494, Arovax Shield 1.2.314, Spy Defense 0.9.5.118, HiJack This Scanner, CWShredder 2.19, Blacklight Rootkit Eliminator, Rootkit Revealer, and Earthlink SpyAudit

Installing Win (SP2) On A Clunker / Incorrect Function

Apr 14, 2006

I have been trying to install Win XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 on my old puter. It's really slow and old like 10 years old. I am planning on fixing it up. I tried to install XP, and after it copied the files (which took forever) it went on to the install step. Every time, it gets stuck on a "fatal" error that says "Incorrect Function." Then I can look at some kind of log with a bunch of files and words I never heard of.
After I click ok, it restarts and does the same thing over and over, until I turn it off. I tried to take out the CD, and it starts loading, then says I am missing files. It seems like there is nothing I can do. I contacted Microsoft, and they won't help me unless I give them 35 dollars. I'm a 15 year old kid and I don't really have much money.

Win Home And Professional HDD Disable Function

Jul 12, 2008

I have 5 hard drives in my system, but, at most only C and D (2 drives) really need to be enabled, so what I do is disable the other 3 by right click on the drive, select the appropriate drive and in the properties tag, select DISABLE THIS HARDWARE.When required, just enable it.Question is, when disabled, is power actually removed off that hard drive, or is there a quiescent current (small current) still flowing in the electronics of the drive that is disabled?

System Restore Function Was Disabled

Jun 2, 2010

My wife's computer is running XP Pro with all the latest updates and every malware/spyware/trojan checker I've run reports no infections, neither does AVG 9.0. I say this first as a background.The problem was first found when the computer was found off when it was last known to be on. Upon turning on the computer, as the Windows splash screen was displayed, the computer turned itself off again. I tried this several times and it would always turn itself off during the splash screen. I then decided to attempt to boot in safe mode. I was able to boot it up and I've disabled all start-up programs that aren't absolutely needed. I am then able to reboot into standard mode and everything works well for several hours, but next thing I know, it is off again. I originally thought it was a power issue and put a brand-new overkill PSU in. I also checked the heat of the CPU and everything else the motherboard diagnostics allow me to check and everything checked out fine. I booted up a thumbdrive with memtest86+ and it ran all night and didn't report any errors. Unfortunately, for some reason the system restore function was disabled (I do not remember doing this) so there was no restore point to attempt.

File Search Function Is Knocked Out

Apr 6, 2008

I seem to have done something that has knocked out my Start Search (or was it start find) function. when I click on start search, I get a kind of disabled Internet Explorer box instead of the familiar search options with the usual buttons for location, file name, etc. This seems to have happened shortly after I got rid of the animated character and did a lot of other XP performance tweaks. I did turn the indexing service off but turned it back on and that did not help
