| | Hi xichael, firstly is it not returning results whatever you search for? or are you searching for something specific? if the first, then check Indexing is on:

| | I just turned the Indexing Service on, but it didn't make any difference. When I search for a program, I just get "no items match your search". |

| | Is it something specific your searching for? or is it just returning no results whatever you type? to test, try typing "partition" (no quotes) in and see if it returns any results |

| | Yes, I'm typing the names of programs. Nothing returns results. Not "partition", "notepad", "firefox", or anything else I have installed. |

| | ok, open up an elevated command prompt (Start>all programs>Accesories>right click Command Prompt>Run as Administrator) then type in "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) to check for corrupted system files. Post the results back |

| | I ran "sfc /scannow", and "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations"... Any other ideas? |

| | Just one.... If you have your win 7 disk you can try a Repair Install see if that fixes it.... |

| | Why in God's name did that just take 3 hours?... At least it fixed my problem. Thanks for the help, Martin! |
