Hi For some reason my Vista search has stopped working completely. The service is still running though. Everytime i run the search i get the error message "search fails to initialize". Can anyone help pls. Thanks.
I would suggest updating to the latest version of Windows Search, available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940157 "HHantu" wrote in message news:D7A2ED88-408D-4C22-9FC0-08C25B290DF0@microsoft.com... > Hi > > For some reason my Vista search has stopped working completely.

Hi Dave, I cant use that KB because im not on Vista SP1 (which itself is another problem, for some reason the SP1 update keep failing on me. Vista SP1 support cant figure it out either). Thanks.
