Instant search - random failure

[Wavefunction]

My friend recently had an odd problem with Windows Vista's Instant Search feature. Whenever he presses the Windows button, and then tries to start a search with "c" or "v", Windows Explorer crashes Any ideas?

Hey Webmaster, i had a similar problem but with the XP search function, it would just crash on me when i searched for something. I too have Vista but never experienced this problem, i wish i could offer more help, i searched on google to see if anyone else had similar problems but could not find much information that would be useful. You could try a system restore or something similar, that usually fixes things for me, just back up your files and all. But if you don't want to, go ahead and PM me with a more detailed description because i may be able to help if you give me more details

I was going to suggest a restore, but he just got the computer and the only restore point would delete all of the new programs and settings... and put back the bloatware But there may be no choice. Thanks for the reply
