Event Viewer - System - Event ID 7000 and 7009 Windows Search will not start
I received the following message from event viewer:
The Windows Search service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
<Event xmlns="**http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event**">

I sent for online help which told me how to start the service. But I also received the following message:
A timeout was reached (40000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Windows Search service to connect.

How do I alter the time to allow for connection?

2010-03-02T16:58:45+00:00 No I did not disable the Indexing. As far as I know the actual runtime is fine. I want to stop the messages from appearing. I thought if I could increase the timeout limit it might correct the error message. Or if I could somehow troubleshoot by wsearch is not connecting that would correct the problem. I don;t want to be in position to stating wsearch all the time.

Did you disable Indexing?
The search service hasa a general dependency on the RPC and DCOM services, are you experiencing any actual runtime issues? Or are you just curious about the message in the Event Viewer?
