"Indexing is not running" after Windows 7 restore

I recently had a laptop hard drive poop out. I bought a new one and and accomplished a full restore from a fresh backup managed by Lenovo Rescue and Recovery 4.3. I was initially impressed because almost everything is 100%. Windows and Office had to be re-activated. System Restore had to have the "old C: Drive" deleted and the new one turned on. But the uber-critical Windows Search (Indexing) is broken. Most of the options on the Indexing Options panel are dithered. The event log is streaming the same three errors until I disable the service entirely. Rebuild will not work. Screen captures are available.
None of the stock "fix the index" techniques worked (I already have 2 hours into it using Google et al.). This is going to require someone with intimate knowledge of how the WINDOWS 7 indexing system works and how to "reset" it
In a maybe-related problem, I cannot do any System Updates either.
Rebuilding this system is simple too painful so I need the restore to work.
TIA.

With your 2 hours of googleing, have you found this thread or tried the things they recommend to try?

Firefox will not run after System restore or running in compatibility mode for windows 98. How do I fix this? I already tried all other solutions on this site.

I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.

The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?

Premiere Elements 12 will not run after installing on my HP laptop with Windows 7. HOWEVER, PE11, PE10 & PE 9 all run without a problem. I contacted HP, and there are NO NEW or ADDITIONAL video drivers available from HP.
I have NEVER had a problem running ANY software on this laptop -- except for PREMIERE ELEMENTS 12!

My laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade,

my laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade, driver on your website fails to setup at 83 % with an error message

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Continuing update failure problems, "Not running real Windows"

Hello,
About 2 weeks ago I started getting a message on my computer screen "Not running Genuine Windows". I am most definitely running genuine windows. I checked the archives here and tried a fix that popped up, no joy.
It gave a fix option, which failed...generating error code 800706F7 again. I called tech support, a lady spent two hours working on the computer and could not fix it. She sent me to level two tech support, he called on New Years Day and worked on it for
a couple of hours and thought it was fixed.
The error message is back, the computer will not accept updates from windows updates.com, tells me to install update fix it, did so, still fails to install updates. This is becoming a nightmare, please help.

Hello NorCal Jeff,
Please use system restore to restore the system back to a store point before two weeks ago and check if the issue still exists.
System Restore:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows7/products/features/system-restore

2.Follow the steps in the wizard to choose a restore point and restore your computer.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

thx

Hi,
I am pretty sure you want to know what forum's experienced users think about Live Update, don't you?
Live Update is terrible, and in most cases it's better to remove it and forget about it. It's alright to keep it installed and run to check for updates but a lot better and safer to install them manually (yourself) from MSI's product page. And forget about updating BIOS. It's as good as smashing the BIOS chip with the hammer MFlash or Forum's tool is much safer and more efficient.
What updates did it do? What drivers/utilities do you have installed from the CD/MSI's page?

Safari not running after ios8 update for ipad

I updated my Ipad with Retina display with ios8 lately and noticed that safari is not running after update. whenever i try to open it it just pop open and close immediately and automatically.
There was no problem of this kind before the update.
Any solution??

If the above doesn't work:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

Director 11.5 "exe" not running in windows lower version

hi,
i have some project made in director mx2004 (d10) and convert it to director 11.5 but when i publish exe it will not run on windows 2000 or windows 98 (basically lower then windows xp2), have any one idea of that
thanks

This page shows the authoring and runtime OS requirements. Unfortunately, D 11.5 isn't set up to run on Windows versions earlier than XP. You may want to keep that earlier version of your .exe and make it available to users with 2000 or 98.

Oracle automatic statistics optimizer job is not running after full import

Hi All,
I did a full import in our QA database, import was successful, however GATHER_STATS_JOB is not running after sep 18 2010 though its enable and scheduled, i did query last_analyzed table to check and its confirmed that it didnt ran after sep18,2010.

Does anybody has this kind of experience, please share
Apprecitate your responses

srh

?So basically you are saying is if none of the tables are changed then GATHER_STATS_JOB will not run, but i see tables are updated still the job is not running. I did >query dba_scheduler_jobs and the state of the job is true and scheduled. Please see my previous post on the output
Am i missing anything here, do i look for some parameters settings
So basically you are saying is if none of the tables are changed then GATHER_STATS_JOB will not run,GATHER_STATS_JOB will run and if there are any table in which there's a 10 percent change in data, it will gather statistics on that table. If no table data have changes less than 10 percent, it will not gather statistics.

I have a dual boot system. Windows xp and Windows 7. Photoshop elements 7 would not run on Windows 7, so I purchased Elements 13. Slow as christmas. Not worth using at the speed it takes to do work on photos

I have a dual boot system, xp pro and 7 pro. Photoshop elements 7 runs fine on xp, but would not run on windows 7. Bought elements 13, Very, Very slow. To slow to work on photographs. I have bought new ram and done every other optimize ideas I have found online.

My office professional will not run with windows 8.1

my office professional will not run with windows 8.1 It ran fine on 7 and 8 but not 8.1

Microsoft Windows 8.1 officially supports all currently supported Microsoft Office versions including Office 2013 / 2010 / 2007 / 2003 , and may be even earlier versions unofficially. I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus on my Windows 8.1 and it runs fine with no issues. Could you try what has already been suggested by others including Big_Dave and reinstall Microsoft Office with complete reboot/restart between uninstall/new installation <restart, not shut down and start over>. If this doesn't work, please post again if installation went fine, what exactly is the error code (if any), what is the problem exactly, any screenshots ?
