Error when doing Advanced Search in Vista Home Premium Edition

Every time I do a Search, Advanced in Vista, I receive the following error
message box:
"Compressed (Zipped) Folders"
"Please insert the last disk of the Multi-Volume set and click OK to
continue."

I have tried to search for solutions through microsoft.com and the internet
and have come up empty. Also, I notice this is happening on another computer
I am using that is running Vista Home Premium Edition. I have not installed
any type of compression software on either of these computers (both Acer
notebooks).

If anyone can give me some insight into how to fix this annoying issue I
will be very grateful! If I have posted in the wrong forum, please let me
know which is the right one to post this message to!

You can zip one file or folder or a group of files & folders, with the
output going to your hard drive as a single file or split up into multiple
files of some maximum size, or to removable media, like floppies, CD, thumb
drive, etc, which might require multiple floppies or whatever to hold it
all. When a zip file is too big for the media or the specified max file
size, it is called a spanned or file or multi-volume set. The index of
everything in the zip file is on the last file/media of the series. So if
your search is set up to search within zipped files, and one of them is
spanned, and the last file of that spanned set is missing (or damaged?), you
will get that message. I suppose you would get a similar message if it were
searching .CAB files and one file in the set were missing or damaged.

It should be possible to tell the search to not search compressed
files. It is a tradeoff between the error and finding the contents of
zip files.

Re: Error when doing Advanced Search in Vista Home Premium Edition

I haven't zipped or compressed any files, so that is why it is confusing that
I get the error when I do an advanced search. This happens even on a
different computer as well that also has no zipped or compressed files.

Re: Error when doing Advanced Search in Vista Home Premium Edition

Under "Advanced" for Search, there is a check box to search non-indexed
files. There is nothing to uncheck or check when it comes to zipped files.
