My issues with GD seem to have been due to my Samsung 640 GB drive acting flaky. After replacing the drive with a 750 GB Seagate hybrid over the weekend (see #55261 - http://iwt.mikevital....iwt?postid=55261 ), I reinstalled GDS yesterday and its continuing to index without issues.

But I somehow lost the ability to use Calendar plugin (just as a desktop calendar - I don't have anything in the cloud). I found this version which seems to work fine: http://www.noisymime...dex.html#download

I get to turn off the Winders 7 gadgets now. Yay!

Cheers,
Scott.
