Windows Desktop Search giving me headaches!

[Guest Neil Acquatella]

My laptop began to get really, really slow, Page File Memory goes up to 3GB

and up, I determined that some .exe files that belongs to WDS 3.01 are the

cause of my problem, I suspect WDS is corrupt now. My laptop goes incredibly

slow, Outlook renders the laptop unusable to the point that I have to

force-shutdown it, pressing the power button for 7 secs.

 

I have looked over the internet on how to uninstall WDS but all the

solutions I have found have been unsuccessful. There is no WDS entry in the

Add/Remove Programs (I'm using XP SP2 by the way), reinstalling WDS doesn't

work at all, giving me a .log file, etc.

 

Can anyone help me on this matter? I am decided now, to uninstall WDS for

good, I barely use it anyway.

 

Thanks in advance.
