I have installed Everything at first on my Desktop computer (64bit Win7).
In options I enabled "Multi-user database filename" and disabled "Filters" menu
Everything works fine. The corresponding database Everything.MAGGIE.Peter.db is about 15 MB.
When I leave the search field empty all stuff is shown in the file list below.
Then (after exit) I copied the whole installation directory (including Everything.ini) to my second computer (=Notebook with 64bit Win7).
After start of Everthing there I went to
Options-->Indexes
and clicked "Force Rebuild".
Much to my surprise the database Everthing.HOMER.Peter.db created is only 1 MB in size and nothing except drive "D:" is shown in the file list.
During the rebuild an "exclamation mark" icon appears in the Sytray telling my "Corrupt file" (see attached snapshot).
What file is corrupt?
EVen if I delete manually the *.db index and re-built index the error re-appears.
Why does Everything not create a correct full database (WITH the SAME settings!) on the second computer?

No index built on second computer: Why?

Re: No index built on second computer: Why?
Just a remark about the solution I found meanwhile:
The NTFS clusters were partially damaged.
I run the built-in "chkdsk" command over the partition (with auto-repair flag).
Afterwards everything was fine with Everything.
Everything should show a more intuitive warning/error message like
"Corrupt NTFS clusters. Run chkdsk"
