Hi all, I'm running Win XP Pro. A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard, Athlon 2500+, 1 G Dual Channel Ram, Ati 9600 Pro video, For the past few days, whenever I go to Start > Search the system freezes for a minute or so and then unlocks but the search function never starts. I'ver scanned with Adaware, Spybot, and MS Spyware. I've also reinstalled video drivers and run sfc /scannow. I've searched around and found a few similar problems but no solutions. Any ideas? Thanks Gary
