I know this is old but still have a PC running VISTA. Don't wanna install anything new .. lazy. Anyway, I only use this PC for watching movies/dramas and tonight, it suddenly acts up. The "search function" on the start button keep running non-stop. I don't know what's wrong. I thought there was a conflict in the updates of the Real Player and Avast so I uninstalled them. I then installed MSE but the problem remains. What's going on? Someone please help. Thanks!
Were you searching for something? Using Windows search or Windows Desktop search? Possible solutions: 1) Turn on indexing 2) Temporarily disable virus scanner (possible searching for items triggers vscan which in turn triggers search?) 3) Uninstall/Reinstall (or don't) Windows Desktop search
