Start search trouble

I can't get vista start search 2 work ... there r never any results ... Registry Editor (search) comes back zero ...

You should be able to type in regedit and it will pull up regedit.exe for you to click.

well done ...

thank U .... this worked ... now ... when I search 4 a program, specifically, adobe flash player, it comes up zero ..... and I know that it's installed .. any thoughts on this ?

It's not in C:\Program Files\Adobe? That should be the default install location....unless you tinkered with it like you do the colors in your posts.

An alternative:

it's free and works the same across just about every version of
Windows since Win98.

When you type a letter into the search box, you should get a list of everything that starts with that letter.

When I type in "A" I get all the Adobe stuff but not Flash Player. That may be because it's not a program you use, it's basically a support software to run video/games. But if I go into Control Panel>Programs and Features, it's right there. You can also go into Explorer and find it easily that way.
