When I open the contacts window and type any name or address in the search
window It will not find anything..Always comes up blank



Wasnt like this when I first started using Vista a month ago on my new PC
and I have not changed anything..

McAfee

That may very well be the cause of your problem.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
or Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

People say that about cars too. :-)

never had that happen either but I get the point :-)

I have exactly the same problem that Bill has. Even when i "lost" the
searching function in Windows Mail i also lost the functionality of the
Contacts Gadget of windows sidebar it send the message "permission denied"
and No items match your search.

I already uninstall Norton Antivirus and the problem persist.
I also check the index and it seems is ok.

Both programs: searching in Windows Mail and the Contacts Gadget use to work
properly but suddenly stops working.

Any suggestion is welcome...

Thanks
