Now, I've suffered that one and had to suffer a rather humiliating call to the computer manufacturers to resolve it. By the time that I discovered the issues, both my wife and I had spent several hours redoing work because Windows XP failed to find files that we knew we'd created. In my case, there were two issues: 1. The files that I sought were within the Program Files "tree". Windows XP now considers Program Files and all it contains to be system folders and doesn't search there by default. To include these folders, in the Search Companion expand Search Options, then Advanced Options, and select System Folders. 2. An Index Server index had become corrupted. To rebuild a corrupted index, go to Administrative Tools -> Computer Management (which you can access by right-clicking My Computer in the Start Menu and choosing Manage). Now Expand Services and Applications, then Indexing Service, then System. Now click Directories. Right click the entry for the Directory that you know contains your file and choose All Tasks -> Rescan (Full). Returning to the original poster's query: I had something similar when I first started with TB (at 1.53d). In my case, it was because the Registry had no entry for TB, which occurred because I didn't have sufficient permissions when I first installed TB. If you search the archives for this list, you should find my cries of woe and the very informed resolution. However, to put it in a nutshell, I needed to log on as an administrator and then reinstall TB, after which all went well.
