Did you disable it in "Windows Programs and Features"?

Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on of off. Now tick the "Windows Search" box

Hi angelina4589

Do you get search if you press the Windows Key + F on your keyboard ?

 

[angelina4589]

this option is also not working..... alert box :'class not registered'

OK, can you run a startup repair ? do you have your Windows 7 installation disk ?

 

[angelina4589]
