Hi

I've got a little problem where ArcReader 10 crashes when using the "Find" function/tool.
Are there any known causes for this? And how can it be corrected?

Thanks for the help.

For anyone else experiencing this problem, here are the instructions for disabling the Find Tool�??s function to check ArcGIS Online.   The file you need to edit is located here:  C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcReader10.1\Locators\DefaultLocators.xml

-Open the Default locators.xml file.
-It can be opened in any editor by using open with (Notepad, Notepad ++) -Comment out the tags with ArcGIS Online Locators by adding <!--... --> at the end.
(For example:
<!-- ArcGIS 10 Online US Streets geocode service -->
  <!--locator_ref>
    <name>Locators/TA_Streets_US_10</name>
    <display_name>10.0 US Streets Geocode Service (ArcGIS Online)</display_name>
    <workspace_properties>
      <factory_progid>esriGISClient.AGSServerConnectionFactory</factory_progid>
      <ags_connection_properties>
        <url>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services</url>
      </ags_connection_properties>
    </workspace_properties>
  </locator_ref-->)
 
Also here is the web help link for the same:
Setting default locators in ArcMap
http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//002500000040000000.htm

I actually comment out all external references to locators.  The find tool now opens INSTANEOUSLY!
Thanks to ESRI Customer support for helping me figure this one out.
