Bruce,

I looked at the forum which you suggested. Some posters there complain
that questions do not get responses or answers. It does not appear to
be a very active site. I did find some references to problems similar to
mine. There are some suggestions that the problem may be due to
anti-virus or anti-spam conflicts (I use Norton and Trend Micro). The
only remedy I found, which supposedly was suggested by Microsoft, was to
switch to Google Desktop Search. I will try it.
