    Indexing service causes hard drive thrashing.

    All of a sudden my WinXp started slowing way down after the machine was running for about 5 minutes. The hard drive is continually working. I coulnd't find an obvious process running. After trying everything I could think of, adware, virus, drivers, deleting pagefile.sys, etc, I turned off the Indexing Service in Search and that stopped the problem. If I re-enable it the problem re-occurs. Anyone see this or hear of a solution?
    Thanks
