I'm running Outlook 2007 on Vista Home Premium and it has suddenly developed
an error when opening it up - a box comes up saying the the windows search
engine is currently disbaled. I can check a box to stop the warning coming up
so it's not a critical thing - just annoying!

The error has only just started to come up so it has worked fine before. Can
anyone help by telling me how to re-enable the windows search engine?

Thanks

Windows search may have been disabled. To fix this, go to the Run
command and type: services.msc

When Services window opens you will probably find that Windows Search
has been disabled. Re-enable it by right clicking on Windows Search
and change the Startup Type to Automatic. Then where it says Service
Status click the Start button to restart the program.
