You may have a bad timer job or a flaky search crawl - either way, can you check to see which version of SharePoint 2007 you're running? We'd like to see you on at least SP2. (I always keep the latest internal build number table listed on my blog here http://blogs.kma-llc.net/microknowledge/version-build-numbers/). Can you confirm youre on at least 12.0.0.6421? Good luck!

Hi Scootrz32, Based on my research, you can try to install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946517 first, then check the effect. If the error still persists, you can try the following suggestion to fix the issue: Update the password for the account that is used by the Central Administration application pool. To do this, follow these steps: a. On all servers in the server farm, open a command prompt, type the following line, and then press ENTER: cd %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\12\Bin b. On the server that hosts the Central Administration Web site, type the following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: stsadm –o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword c. On all other servers in the server farm, type the following line at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DomainName\UserName -password NewPassword -local d. Restart Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. run iisreset /noforce.
