My Google Desktop Cache doesn't work anymore. I can still search for strings in the websites I visited. I just added a string to my website, I displayed it with the Firefox, then I did a google desktop search for the string. The page was listed as a result. I then tried to display the cached version of the site from the google desktop cache. The displayed page was empty but for the header "This is a Version of .... in your personal Cache ...". Also in the list of cached versions I don't get a preview picture of currently visited sites anymore. However, I still get a preview and cache for pages I visited before Feb 2nd 2008.
For some of the page I visited around that date I get the error message in the header:
"Dies ist ein Teil eines Indexabbilds, das eventuell nicht korrekt angezeigt wird."
(This is a part of a indexcopy, that might be displayed incorrectly.9
There are three pages I loaded between Feb 2nd, 0:52:36 (has a chached version) and Feb 2nd 0:57:07 (doesn't have a cached version). When I click on their cache history, I get the change to go to page 1 to 10 of that history, going to page 9 I can then go to page 1-18. Clicking any page higher than 9 I get an error page
"Sie haben versucht, auf die Versionen einer Datei oder Webseite zuzugreifen, die nicht mehr vorhanden sind."
(You tried to get a version of a file of website that isn't existing anymore)
Even though page number 10 should list versions from visits in March '08.
For other desktop searches I can go on pages further than 9. I also have previews for emails and *.txt files from my hdd even till as recently as now.
I used to use version 5.3 or version 5.5 or so. While trying to resolve the problem I installed Google Desktop 5.7.0805.16405-de-pb.
Is there a chance to revitalize my index or will I have to start a new index and loose all my website visits and all my instant messenger-interaction.
I don't know whether I can get cached versions of visited site, but at least I'd like cached versions of sites I'm going to visit from now on. Preferably without loosing my googel desktop history.
