When I click on Start, then Search, then All Files and Folders and search for the name of a file I know is on my computer, the search ends with "Search is complete. No documents to display." I am searching for a file name - not a name contained within a file. I have also seen this tip as a solution:

Install tweakUI from Microsoft, once installed open it and go to the "DESKTOP" tab, scroll down to "Show Search Results". Place an check mark in this box. Somehow there are some progs out there that screw with this setting.

However, when I go to that tab on TweakUI, I do not have a box "Show Search Results".

This is very annoying. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It isn't like I didn't go look first.

I keep getting 3-4 emails a day in my bulk email saying "failure delivery notice" when I have never sent anything, is it a virus? And why am I suddenly getting them. It started when I started my Myspace account which I have since deleted.

I'm having problems with browsing the net!
I have a dsl-504 router with 2 PCs connected to it!
One PC is fine and has no problems!
The other is fime 60% of the time!

When I browse, most pages load OK but every 10 pages or so, I get the "page cannot be display the instant I click!
Refreshing the page works!
Also some pictures don't load, however, right click, show picture works!
I have two LAN ports, both cause the same, no mater what cable, crossed or otherwise, no matter what LAN! I tried new cables, but nothing helps! It's not the router, LAN cards or cable because they all work with the other PC! If only a frame is refreshed, that frame gets the Page cannot be displayed message, but again only randomly!
The connection isn't dropped, stays connected! It's beyond me! I'm quite experienced at PC use!

Please please help! It also cuts downloads off, again randomly! I use zonealarm pro! Same problem even if it's disabled!

I went into at least 50 diff. emails and clicked on the link to no longer receive any mail but that didn't work and I really don't like going into them cause I'm afraid I'll get a virus.

I'm not sure if they're is something I can ad to my site to do this, but I feel like I've seen code for this before. I've been through my hosts control panel to see if there was anything there, but they don't offer anything like this. Is there a piece of code that will just tell me how many people have bookmarked my page. It would also be nice to know what browser they were using at the same time.
