| Ive recently turned my computer on to find that the search feature doesnt work. If i type anything into the start search box on Vista i get the error: "Search failed to initialize". This is very awkward for me because i lose track of my files easily. I can't use the normal search either, nothing happens when i click search or press return. Any help would be greatly appreciated. On a slightly different note, System Restore encounters errors too, any help on this would be great. Thanks again, Razer |

| It may take a while, fast search works by basically indexing your whole Pc ready for any query. |
