I see many suggestions are to get Registry Cleaner Repair Tool. I do not understand the Disclaimer. May be I can help you with some advise. I'm having the same problem. I tried to follow the instructions that you've given to Jnicol but I'm not as technical and lost you after you asked him to open WDS. Can you help me?

Asked by:. Archived Forums. Windows Desktop Search Help. Sign in to vote.

After indexing is complete, the messages disappear. In the event viewer, the corresponding application errors show up: Faulting application SearchProtocolHost.
I have tried system restore, but none of my restore points worked, so it looks like I am going to have to try and track down the problem. I have done a lot of googling for an answer, and the only solutions I have found applied to people who has Outlook installed, which I do not. Any suggestions? Wednesday, July 25, AM.
