Windows search function

External Since: Sep 27, 2008 Posts: 1

I am running XP SP2 and every time I try a "Search" from the main start menu
I get a message along the lines of "Windows search isn't working. Please
select Start, All programs and Windows search" in a yellow box at the top of
the windows search box, which is open!!!

I tried to reinstal without success as self extract file wanted Terminal
Services to be active?? Whatever tha means.
Do you have any suuestions as to how to resolve this issue?

Thanks

George
