You need to give us more clues that that. Where or when did you get this error? What were you doing at the time? Ian Haynes
Google «Encountered an improper argument», and you’ll see why that tells us nothing about your problem. You need to be specific.
. Or, of course, go through those 2.4 million results and see if you find a match to your issue. 🙂
What operating system are you using? If it’s Vista or Windows 7 try ( and this is a long shot ) closing xWeb and start it using right-click ‘Run as administrator’. Ian Haynes
No clue, but why not try downloading from your production site a clean copy of the site before the find/replace and see if you are still getting the error.

Here is the current status:
The machine is a windows 7 machine.
uninstall .net framework 4 and reinstall – still errors out.
see if it happens in another web site – still errors out.
Create a new site – still errors out.
I have expression web 3 on this machine, tried expression web 3 – still errors out.
I have expression web 3 on a second machine with XP – the “search” and “search and replace” works fine. So, it something on the windows 7 machine. Any more ideas?
If it’s also affecting EW3, then it’s probably an earlier part of dotnet framework. I could be wrong, but I think EW3 didn’t use dotnet 4 (I don’t think it was around when EW3 came out). But I could have the version numbers wrong.
At any rate, you may have to uninstall all parts of the dotnet framework and then—very important—run the dotnet cleanup utility and reinstall from the ground up. It’s a tedious process, but has to be done in a particular way. There are links to instructions and the dotnet cleanup utility in the Forum FAQ.
The Dalai Lama walks into a pizza shop and asks the guy behind the counter, «Can you make me one with everything?»
After I uninstall, do I then re-install just .NET Framework 4
or do I have re-install all these?
Did you try rolling back to an earlier restore point?
If that doesn’t work, installing the framework is a multi-step process, one version after the other—AFTER you run the cleanup utility.

I just uninstalled expression web 4.0 and then re-installed. It then worked. I applied SP2 and it is again failing. Any ideas. I again uninstalled EW4, reinstalled and tried to «find» all, it failed without SP2.
During the first test of «Find» all there were no matches. The error occurs when there is 1 or more matches.
I again un-installed EW4, then tried to run the EW3 that is still on my computer. EW3 has the same problem. Help.
It is not possible for two different software programs to fail in the exact same manner at the exact same time. They do not share code, which is why they can be installed independently and run side by side. So the problem is clearly outside of EW. Probably the dotnet framework.
But have you tried rolling back?
Nobody suggested uninstalling and reinstalling EW4. We’ve suggested two other things. If rolling back doesn’t help, then look to the dotnet framework.

Did you try going back to a system restore point prior to when you started having problems? (That is not the same as «uninstalling it back to before you had problems».)
Beyond that, you may be reaching the limit of what other EW users, who have no access to your computer and who are not MS technical support, can advise.
I just came upon these post regarding the error messages you are getting (Encountered an Improper Argument). Not sure if you have found a resolution to this problem; but I would like to add my two cents. I have been using EW for several years. I constantly run into this same problem except whenever I cut and paste. So, if you cut several files, lets say 5, and paste those 5 into a folder, I get 5 messages telling that I’ve «Encountered an Improper Argument«. I don’t have a clue as to why this happens, but I’ve learned to ignore it in hopes that Microsoft will come up with a fix in their next «SP». I have ignored this without any visible consequence other than it’s irritating as heck.
