    Another good tip. I went to the directory winnt/inf. The srchasst.inf file is not there. Perhaps that's the underlying issue? I'm looking forward to a reply. Meantime, I'm going to poke around and see if someone else has one I can peek at. Will also search MS knowledge base. regards, Steve

    wooluf, Really great hint. The knowledge base listed my symptoms. The fix looked promising. I went through the steps documented in the fix. No luck. Any other ideas will be tried! thanks much, Steve

    My Search for Files option on my menu does nothing. I do have an option to search using Outlook, which does work, and searching works from Windows explorer, but searching via the start -> search for files path is inoperable, except for the outlook option. No messages in the event log, no dialog...

    Unknown reasons for shutdown

    I have an Axil (Sun Clone) running Solaris 6 with a Sybase SQL server on it and an external RAID. It periodically shuts down to the boot prompt for no apparent reason. Nothing in /var/adm/messages at all that indicates any issues. It does not have a frame buffer, keyboard, mouse or monitor...
