The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Indexing Service MMC Snap-In fails to initialize

Asked by warrenbuckles in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: mmc, initialize, failed

Hello All:

I am running Windows XP SP2 with auto-update enabled.

The system has a large amount of disk space (> 1 Tbyte) in one Raid 5 array (880 Mbyte), one Raid 0 array (150 Mbyte) and two independent disks (200 and 250 Mbytes respectively).  I use it to manage my photographic image collection which consists of over 200 Mbytes of primary images and several hundred Mbytes of secondary (modified) images that are deleted periodically.  The primary image store grows by 1-10 Mbytes/month.

I am running Diskeeper 10 Professional Premier.  

I have the indexing service enabled and noticed that it was chewing up many of my CPU cycles (if I pause it the average CPU utilization drops by 20-30%).

I wanted to modify the drives/directories that the indexing service accesses, so I went to  Administrative Tools --> Computer Management ---> Services and Applications.

I received the following message:

Snap-in failed to initialize.  Name: Indexing Service  CLSID: {.......}

I opened an instance of MMC and went to File--> Add/remove snap-in --> Add

I got a list of stand-alone snap-ins which included the Indexing Service (which was displayed as a generic folder icon w/o any information in the 'Vendor' column - most of the other snap-ins were displayed as unique icons with 'Microsoft Corp' as vendor).

When I clicked on the Indexing Service, I got the 'Snap-in failed to initialize.....' message as above, with the same CLSID.

I think I need to reinstall the Indexing Service snap-in.

Am I correct and, if so, how do I do that?

Is there something else going on, perhaps related to Diskeeper?

Thanks in advance,

wb
