[Vista 6000] [Search Indexer] Stoped Working And Was Closed

Hello,

Having major propblems with the Indexer,
Its causing major system performance issues and problems...

I dont know when or how it started, but recently.
The Indexer will crash, and pop up an error box.

This happens when...
Deleting a file.
Opening Outlook. (Office 2007)
Moving Files.

Pracatly anything to do with the Indexer.

While deleting or moving files system performance slows to a trail.
Outlook stops completely.

Opening controll panel, then indexing options...
States that Indexing is not running.

Basicly it wont stop crashing.

Any workaround or fix

Thanks.

Yes, Thanks, Seems to be resolved.

Seemed like an easy resolution, but when ever i looked at the indexer options, everyhting was always unselectable.
Even the advanced options button,

But,
Looks like it wasnt that time.

All fixed, Thanks.

Hi Miguel

When it next crashs, and you get the error box,
Opening up your controll panel, then close the error boxes and then try opening the Indexing Options.

Try this, im not sure, its just a guess.
Post back if it works or dosnt.

So your basicly opening the indexing options when you have no error boxes.

John

Hi. I am having the same problem of winodws showing the error message of " Windows Search Indexer has stopped working". How do I get about changing the registry key I could not locate it. Thanks.

Calvin

My indexer will not start I get the following errer windows could not start the windows search service on the local computer error 1067 the process terminated unexpectedly. and I cant use anything in the stupid computer I just got this dell with vista on it and i am beginning to hate it. very very frustrated YES need help YES i tried booting in safe mode and the search indexer does not work in safe mode. I cant reinstall the indexer I cant find any other data on how to fix it either. please help...

This is driving me beserk. I am not, repeat NOT a software geek. Please please can someone post a step by step idiots guide to solving this problem. I have tried the last 2 sets of directions and have got nowhere, not their fault just mine as I do not wish to mess up my machine.

The sooner MS do a "fix" the better

Same problem here. I just got this new computer two weeks ago. I have an external HD with thousands of files and so after starting the indexer, I made sure to include the HD too, to havel "live" access to them.

Well, after running the indexer, I noticed that it created a root directory in my external HD for the following registry keys:

- FailedMoveNewDataLocation

- DataDirectory

- DefaultApplicationsPath

- TempPath

This new directory had the following Windows Search folders:

- Search > Data > Temp > usgthrsvc

These had very heavy files in them, and I was certain those files were needed for Windows Search. What made me delete them was the fact that these folders and files were created inside a "clone" folder Windows Search had created off another folder I have in my HD and it was just driving me crazy what was the reason for it.

So I had two folders with the same name; one with my personal documents and the other with Windows Search files. So I deleted them. Since they did not fit in the Recycle Bin, I did a "hard delete" and the files and directory were gone.

However, that was when everything started going crazy: Windows Search now says "Waiting

to receive indexing status"... It's been like that for the past 5 days or so.

I have tried every conceivable remedy, from adding and creating back those files into my HD, to setting my registry values in SetupCompletedSuccessfully to zero and nothing.

I have even used the "Remove Windows Features" service through Control Panel, which lets you "add" and "remove" Windows Search and nothing happens. I have even called Dell for support and they suggested a System Reinstall... which I don't want to do.

I am still playing with the registry to see if it works and nothing. Actually, there is something very wierd with the registry; even if I turn the SetupCompletedSuccessfully to zero and reboot, nothing happens, I try to access the Indexing Options and it says that Indexing is not on, so I go back to the registry and set SetupCompletedSuccessfully to 1 and the indexing goes back to "Waiting to receive indexing status".

I go to the Services feature and "restart" Windows Search and nothing... If the value on SetupCompletedSuccessfully is zero, Services will give me this error: "Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer: Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"... I set the value of SetupCompletedSuccessfully to 1 and go back to Services, restart, Windows Search restarts but the Indexing Options box keeps on telling me the same thing "Waiting to receive indexing status", with all the buttons grayed-out but the close one.

Another weird thing is that even though I have set up the value of SetupCompletedSuccessfully to zero, restarted the computer and even unpluged my external HD, the Windows Search registry values go back to the paths in my external HD.... Even after I keep on deleting those directories from my external HD, Windows Searcg keeps on creating them after I plug my external HD, so at least it shows that my Windows Search is working but stalls.

By the way, I can change the falues and directories of some Windows Search registries but not all. Some of them give me this error: "Cannot edit xxxx: Error writing the value's new contents".

Is there a solution for this Anyone

Thanks!
