Can not do a search in win xp pro
Last response: in Windows XP
Ok, I dont know exactly what the hell happen yesterday. But now I can not do a search for a file on my system at all. If just puts this little box up on my screen with the caution! and says nothing the search engine looks like its still going but no results. every no and then it says search companion. but thats the most I get out of the error. I changed the search companion and shut it off. and still doesnt work. Anyone clued in on why this came out of the blue like this?

Everything else works, oh one thing I did alter yesterday was I put a second user on the system. But she couldn't of messed it up. she wasn't even home yet, so sadly I can't blame her...yet :smile:
Which brings up the fact can't put on passwords on either of us. As it thinks I haven't place a password in as I go to put one in the system.
Dunno if those are all related or not?
