Re: Vista Search not working, options greyed out - how do I get it bac


I've had this same problem too (for weeks and weeks).

I've also tried the instructions in that link - apparently everything
on the net links to 'Index - Windows Search Service'
(http://tinyurl.com/25ex5h)

No luck (have tried it many times and many variations).

I have Vista-Home edition. Service pack 1 - all updates applied.

The Indexing Options "box" is all grayed out. I cannot edit anything.
And again - the instructions in "How to Fix the Start Error for Windows
Search Service to Enable the Index in Vista" have all been done.

Anytime I search using explorer I get some message about turning on
indexing (and when I click, it tells me indexing not available). And
this causes even more havoc within Outlook contact list searches
(apparently uses the same indexing)

HELP!

Thanks ; )
