My desktop search crashes everytime I try to preview a PDF, I've tried
uninstalling and re-installing both MSN Toolbar with Desktop search and the
PDF indexing plugin to no avail.

Anyone know whats going on? or if theres a patch or something? I've hunted
everywhere on the net and no one else seems to be reporting a similar problem.

Desktop search is a fantastic bit of kit but is serverly limiting me with
this problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Warren

Wild guesses here...
Did you try reinstalling the free adobe viewer? Are you running the search
from the start menu link or internet explorer or windows explorer.. and does
it crash each place? Is the MSN Toolbar visible if you're running it from
somewhere else?

Richard, the 1st thing I did was de-install DTS and re-installed it, then
downloaded a new copy of the PDF indexer from Adobe and re-installed that.

I'm running DTS from the toolbar, I should point out that the crash happends
in 'Preview' mode, where you have DTS open itself in a new window and you
have the search result listings in a frame and a preview frame, i'm assuming
this is using IE. Essentially, when you click on any PDF in the results list
DTS Crashes and takes IE with it, I know this beause there is a brief pause
while IE reloads everything on the desktop and toolbars.

As a great deal of my work ends up as PDF's DTS with PDF support would be a
godsend if only it would work...
