When I run Windows Search, it will almost always terminate with a
Runtime Error! Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program: C:\Windows\Explorer.EXE

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.


When I close that box, my desktop goes away (icons, task bar), although
I can continue with whatever windows are open until I am finished, then
I need to reboot.

Does anyone know what may be causing this error?

Thanks

Is WinXP P3 installed?

Is Windows (Desktop) Search installed?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

Make sure your C++ runtime files have been updated to the latest SP.

Unless you do the CUSTOM update you are only getting security updates which
do not update your software on security holes within the OS.

Huh? That makes no sense. Explain yourself.
