I have uninstalled google desktop as it tries to completely replacing the windows search. But the Windows Search service is no longer present in the services snapin. How do I restore it?

Recently I've been having this problem with my sound and I'm not sure what caused it or how to fix it. After every restart my sound does not work.

Well, I've had this laptop for over a year now. It's an Acer Aspire 5100, and I've always had problems with lag, graphical lag and system lag. I would play a game, and it would run fine for a while, but will lag after about 5 or so seconds down to three FPS. Not only did this happen in game, but now it pretty much happens when I'm just online, doing anything. I can hear the music skipping right...

Hi, my system, after being turned off for some hours mostly frezzes while booting. I have Vista x64, Xp 32 an Win7 x64, it happens at all 3, so it just can be some hardware issue? The freezing does not always happen after the same time in booting, sometimes its earlier, sometimes later, but always after the operating system menue. I ran memory tests, but they can't find a defect, except if i...

But after a BSOD or hard reboot, i experience problems in the booting process. *First that happens is this:* I have a volume licence, and at booting vista thinks it isn't activated
