well well ....weird... checked if my search is working yet ( stopped looking to fix it ) , still wasnt working
then i decided to delete some old pics and some exe files of programs i installed but not using anymore (uninstalled it with Revo) , cleared recycle bin ...and whola...my search works again .
i not sure i understand , but anyway ,it works
cant remember the exe files i deleted to somehow pinpoint maybe the culprit ? is there a way to see what i deleted ,after i emptied the recycle bin ?
thanks for the help Brink and dalchina !
