Hi

I have done a fresh install of Windows 7, and the Search Programs and Files in the Start menu is not working.

Example, typing "msconfig" brings up nothing at all - the window is completely blank.

Any ideas please?

Fixed (found in another forum):

Navigate to this folder,
c:\Users\Your name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\1033\
And delete the file StructuredQuerySchema.bin

Worked a treat.
