OK, I finally have it fixed. I tried running Google and discovered that my internet explorer was set to "offline" (how, I have no idea). I set it to online, following which both Google and Plan-G are now running properly.   RGrimes

 I have the same problem as Rinkerbuck -- i.e., Plan-G worked fine until yesterday (July 31) -- now I cannot get the overlays to show. Re-installation (either in C:\ or in Program Files) does not solve the proble. It seems that something has changed in the interface with Google.

  Thanks, RGrimes
