Vista 64bit Search Does not Function

Hi,

This has been driving me crazy - crazy enough to make a post to see if
anyone has any ideas about this issue.

I have Vista 64 bit and it will not allow me to do any searches. When I
select Start --> and type anything in the Start Search box, the
magnifying glass turns into an X and it wont let me hit enter or begin a
search. The same happens when I actually select Start --> Search. If I
click on "See All Results" after typing something in, I get an error
that gets cut off but here is the just of it:

.....'query=cmd&subquery=C%3A%5CUsers%5CSteve%5CSe arches%5CIndexed%
20Locations...' The specified path does not exist. Check the path and
try again.

I checked the path as far as I can see up to Indexed Locations the
directory does exist and has proper permissions.

I have Vista on a second computer and this works fine on that one - but
on this one its a no go.

Any thoughts would be appreciated....



Steve.
