I've totally uninstalled and reinstalled, I've added the drive, removed the drive, added the drive, rinsed, repeated.I receive a "Unknown error accessing files during crawling" at best, when I get ANY type of response on the Preferences page.I can't find a solution, so I'm thinking time to find an alternative. Also, I'm not digging that on Windows 7, to run GD effectively, I need to turn off Windows indexing, which screws up my Outlook search (which is superior to GD, but only when searching Outlook).
