Hi Shawn,
Have any brain-storms over the weekend as to what else could be preventing
Windows Search from starting/running? I'm at my wits end on possible
solutions and it's *oh so* frustrating not being able to find particular
emails ... not to mention the slow file searchs.
*Any* suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Ohhh - from my first post:
Here is something that I thought seemed peculiar. In the registry at:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex\Sites\{s-1-5-21-2809944867-2680333499-3313531811-1107}\Paths\15"
when I click on the "15", I get an error message saying, "15 cannot be
opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Details: The
system cannot find the file specified." Along that same registry path, under
the "Sites" key, there are four peer keys; the one I mentioned and three more
with similar names.
If this requires further explaination, please let me know and I'll make some
screen shots of the keys in question.
Thanks,
Brad
