Are you running XP with a limited account?
How are you launching Everything?
Try launching Everything in debug mode from a command prompt, is any debug text shown in the command prompt?

  • Please make sure Everything is not running.
  • From the Start menu, click Run
  • Type in cmd and press enter.
  • Navigate to the Everything directory by entering the following command:

    Code: Select all

    cd "C:\program files\Everything"
  • Enter the following command to start Everything in debug mode:

    Code: Select all

    Everything.exe -debug

Since we're here (& I've been wanting to mention too), I'll just note that I've had trouble using the shortcut too, pretty sure both on XP & Win7.

XP as "regular user" (i.e. not limited), Win7, not really sure, but believe I run as an Admin.

Service runs all the time, though I start the UI manually from a shortcut.

Win7, just opened it with Ctrl + ~, but couldn't close it & when closed with the X, Everything too closed, not just the debug window.
