    I've got a new problem with my Vista search function. Every time I use it it causes a windows restart. I was trying to search for a file on my hdd that starts with the letter "V", but every time I try it causes windows to restart as soon as I hit the "V" key. I've found that it's happening with some other letters too, but not all. I haven't been able to find a resolution in any of my internet searches. Norton Antivirus scanning shows no threats.
