Guest barrowhill Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Running windows XP Pro. Have a problem whereby Spybot Search & Destroy is generating an error message because framedyn.dll was not found (Says it fails to start because it can't find it but program does start!?!) Anyway, because I got the error message, I used the search fucntion to find the file and and hence the location in question. No joy; search over very quicky. Tried other files and folder to find but no joy - searched system folders, hidden files and folders and subfolders Seached on net and found file should be located in Windows/system32/wbem folder. It was (Why spybot couldn't find (?) it is another problem) Decided to re-install search function - windows/inf/srchasst.inf - but still does not function Appreciate any help
Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Re: Search Function not Working If I understand you correctly, this is strictly a Spybot S&D problem? Have you tried reinstalling Spybot? It may not be finding the file because it's looking in the wrong place. That's typically a Registry issue, and the fastest, easiest way to resolve it is to reinstall the app. -- Gary S.

Guest barrowhill Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Re: Search Function not Working Gary, SPybot issue resolved....Windows Search function is not. If I search fro framedyn.dll with all options a previously specified, it doesn't pick it up. I tried *.dll and semi works i.e shows only 60 dll files, basically commencing from the letter L upwards (only one previous to that starting with letter C). You can't tekll me there are only 60 dll's ?? However, whilst replying to you, I had a thought.......I've just turned off the indexing service and it's now search functions as I would expect. So perhaps problems lies with the indexing service. I'll keep this service turned off "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: > If I understand you correctly, this is strictly a Spybot S&D problem?

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Re: Search Function not Working I think you found it... The indexing function. Leave it off if you so desire, many do, but I suspect that if you turn it back on it might just work OK. Then again, you might also need to locate and delete the current index files (don't know off the top of my head where those are.) -- Gary S.
