Can you check the status of the indexer status under start > Control panel >
Indexing option (this should give an idea)

I made the original post about the slowness of the new ap. I have been
running daily everyday since the first of Feb and I will say that it is
faster than it was at first but it has indeed slowed my machine down. Other
than for the constant shutting down and restarting, which is less frequent
also, it is at least acceptable. I read a post last night where a MS tech at
least acknowledges that there is a problem. As more people get this up and
running nad have the same issues we are having they will both hav had time to
address the issues and will be under pressure to fix the problems as the
publications start to write negativly and sales slow as a result. Jim
