Cannot search for files

I have Windows 2000 profesional on a user PC with all the latest updates.

My problem is that I cannot search for files or folders. I click on 'start' > 'search' > 'files or folders', as soon as the search window appears, my windows explorer crashes. The search window disappears and all my icons in the bottom right hand corner are gone.

I have up-to-date virus software and a firewall. I've also run the blast fix tool just in case but it wasn't there.

There is no recently installed software and the user is unsure of how long its been happening. I did a Windows 2000 repair which fixed another problem that was occuring but had no effect on this one.

This has really stumped me, has anyone got any suggestions on this.



Cheers

McLarnon
