Ronnie, This is an old thread but I am hoping you can help me. I have a new
reinstall of Vista Home Premium. Also a new reinstall of Office 2007. I can
conduct a file search in Explorer but not in Outlook. When I go to Control
Panel|Indexing Options it says Indexing not running and there is nothing in
the box. All buttons below are greyed out.
I looked at the tutuorial link you recommend but it is for a 64-bit version
of Vista and does not track with my 32-bit version. Where do I go from here
(chkdsk says all is well).
