Every now and then today, I am getting an error box saying "Microsoft
Windows Search Indexer - Microsoft Windows Search Indexer has
encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience."

The computer also suddenly froze and rebooted itself once.

I think these symptoms are related.

What is the problem?

I forgot to mention, I'm running Windows XP with SP3 installed.

A couple of seconds after I posted these messages, I tried playing a
video file - the system froze and rebooted itself. I tried playing the
video file again - and the system froze and rebooted itself again.

At the moment, I'm getting the "Microsoft Windows Search Indexer has
encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." error box at intervals of maybe from 15 to 30 seconds.

reboot to safe mode run system defrag and registry cleaners that you
have. Delete temporary internet files and temporary files, empty recycle
bin.

I ran Disk Defragmenter, but it said it couldn't defragment some video
files, one of them being the one with computer freezing and rebooting
upon playback. What is wrong with these files? I have run Windows
Defender scanning and AVG Free virus scanning.
