Thanks for the info.  oddly I don't even have that service running so I am using sfc/scanniow to see if I can find something
 

OK..just ran the scan...it shows 116862 scanned...but nothing shows up in the window...
If I hit any of the drop downs, there are no drives...no categories, nothing...in any of the 
dropdowns...

I hit the "Load Database Icon" and nothing happens...

The Browser works fine...

And it says Loading....continuously...

I'm almost sure this is related to your font issue.  Can you ping me your log file again?
 
Thanks,

Ok.  Will send again.  I have done various scans and none of them read as corrupted but it may just be hidden.  I do have a number of fonts because i do a lot of graphic work and some programs install fonts like Adobe.

Thanks chap.  Yeah I do a lot of stuff with graphics and adobe (I'm a pro photographer as well) so I have LOTS of fonts installed, that's what is confusing me.  It's such an obscure issue.

Ok...0.7.0 now shows my drives, categories, and everything except the SUB Category....

That's a marked improvement....and I'm liking it!

OK, this is seriously good news!!  The sub category list is dynamically loaded based on the category you select.

It works like this as it will only show sub-categories for which SS has actually found samples for on your system and will therefore return valid samples.

Sweet ...thanx!!!

Yep...works like a charm...THANX!

I've been following this thread as I used to have it on my 32 bit machine, but haven't tried it on my Win 8 machine. I'll definitely give this a shot now. Good to see it's working out.
 
Thanks Jammer for the continuous work on this!!
