# About Searching on Windows

When you put the CD into your computer, the search server should have started automatically. When it is running, you will have both a console (entitled `JRE` or `NetResults` depending on its state) and a button labeled "Exit Search Service".

The first time the server runs, it will prompt you for a place to store temporary files. Unless you have a strong objection, the default of `C:\TEMP` should be fine.

If you have shut the server down, or if it failed to start for you, you can run `NetResults.bat` in the CD's root directory.

The `AUTORUN.INF` file should also install a Java interpreter.

If you experience any problems running the server, please do the following:

1. Open an MS-DOS prompt
2. Change to the `netresults` directory on the CD-ROM; e.g.,

       C:\> d:
       D:\> cd netresults
       D:\NETRESULTS>

3. Run the search server manually with these parameters:

       D:\NETRESULTS> jre -mx16m -cp . -ms8m itm.nr.serve.NRServer +ds +es +vs

Then try the search again. The console will show more debugging information; have this available when contacting us.
