Re: Microsoft Windows Search Indexer has stopped working?

I Am having the same problem and if one MS person in another thread said to
find some arcane files in a long directory name and copy them to
somewhere...but I couldn't find the files. Your suggestion to reset the
INdexer to default cannot be done on my new ACER machine either...it says the
indexer is not running.

The little error windows tells me that WINDOWS will tell when there is a
'fix'.

I looked at the four files I get when clicking the reported errors and they
don't tell me what to do with them to get the indexer working. Not much help.

We are USERS out here not programmers. I saw many reports of this problem
and if this cropping up a lot then a NEW solution should be found that the
windows update should fix automatically...after all isn't that why we're with
windows and not a mac?

Right now I would like MS Windows Vista to help me get this indexer
working...if its a matter of a couple files being a certain name in a certain
directory to 'build on' then have windows check that directory and if not
there put it there with those files...seems simple to me from a user
standpoint.

Hope you can help.

Thank you in advance

Robert
