Hi.

"when i tick that nothing happened" If by this you mean you select and enable windows search then,you need to click ok and restart.

So restart and post back.

I have already done exactly what you just said and restarted and everything but no change has occured

Go to Start\control panel\Administrative Tools\Services,there find Windows search (if is Stopped click start) set it to Automatic (Delayed Start) Apply,restart.

Edit\delete one of your above posts.


"Normally" following these steps you activate also the Start\search.

By activating Windows search in windows and features the windows search also appears in Services.

which version of windows 7 are you running? home premium,professional,ultimate,enterprise?
was it available earlier? did you change any settings or fiddle with any registry?

 

[panais]

Though if following the above steps didnt solve your problem,

Then you may need to run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html to "fix' your windows.

Run SFC 2-3 times if needed.

i am using windwos 7 ultimate x32 and i have not tampered with regedit at alll and search was not available at all

 

[koolkat77]

okay, try the SFC scan now as suggested by Panais and post back.

Hmmm. From the icons I can see you are using a custom theme. Maybe the custom theme disabled the Start Search. Try going to the desktop and right click on it.

Select "Personalize" and click "Windows 7". Then verify if there's the search.


Also, try hitting on your keyboard the Windows Key + the "F" key at the same time. A search box will appear. Tell us if you can search for item in there.

the SFC scan says that windwos resource protection found integrity violations. what does this mean???
