I have never seen this problem before. I am using Word 2003 with Windows XP pro and Jaws 10. I went to Windows Search and used search companion to try to find a specific file. It immediately went to "stop" and showed no results. When I used insert B to read the whole dialogue, it said Windows search isn't running. To start it, point to all programs, and then click windows. I did that. I checked to make sure that it was logged on under me as a user. It still is not working. Any help would be appreciated. I use Windows Search all the time. I usually use search companion though. Neither works.
