As long as I dont use search every thing else works OK. So far I have run SFC, Ad-awareSE, Spybot S&D, MS Antispyware, & Norton System Works 2002. I Have been googling for 2 days and nothing similar found. P4 -WindowsXP2 - 2.66Ghz. System restore disabled. Ian	i-gordon (962)

This will run the windows file checker,and will ask for your xp cd if any thing is amiss. Maybe this article apllies ?/ FIX: Search Consumes All Available CPU Time on Windows XP After You Install .NET Framework support.microsoft.com Go to this page click S then scroll down to search and there are a couple of fixes there. www.kellys-korner-xp.com hth	johnboy (217)
351621	2005-05-03 05:32:00	Already ran SFC. No change. Tried MS Net Framework fix. No change Ran script from Kellys Korner to Disable & Restore Search Assistant, the scripts didn't work. Any more ideas? Ian	i-gordon (962)

351623	2005-05-04 02:22:00	You could also try this command (you may wish to make a restore point first) regsvr32 C:\windows\system32\zipfldr.dll /u when explorer is at 100%, was mentioned on this (www.devhood.com) site	Overdrive_5000 (4950)
351624	2005-05-04 21:25:00	Thanks for the replies Overdrive. I found that as well as the search problem I was having network file transfer problems, these could have been related. So I gave up looking for a fix and ran a repair reinstall from my SP1 CD followed by SP2 update. Everything working OK now	i-gordon (962)
