Problems with windows search

[snagel]

Lately I have been having problems with the Windows search feature. After downloading a program and then trying to find it. I clicked on start then search it then took me to the Windows search page I then clicked on the Search companion at the bottom of the page. The search then went on for thirty minutes and then just kept on going and going and would not stop the search function. I finally had to press stop to keep it from going. Does anybody have any ideas how to correct this and have it stop after it finds the items searched for.

I recently installed XP Professional on this computer and this is when the problems started. On my XP Home it would not go to the Windows search but started right off on the Search Companion feature which I did like better.

I would appreciate your help

I had the prog on my machine for the sum total of about 2 hours before I decided it was next to totally worthless. There are other good file searches - Filetracer is one I got long ago. No whistles and bells but it builds indices real fast and does what I want it to.

I had it on my computer for 5 minutes and got rid of that piece of trash.
