Google drive is not working. When installing I get this error message which says the error code is 8bd0 if that helps.

enter image description here

It used to work but now after a power cycle it doesn't. What am I doing wrong? The shortcut to google drive does not appear on the desktop and I'm not logged into google drive. It is wrong.

Update

This is the log from running it in diagnostic mode. I already tried reinstall completely and the problem is still there.

    You can start Google Drive in diagnostic mode by running googledrivesync.exe --vv. It will then generate a log file at C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Google\Drive\sync_log.log. See if that gets you more information. May 1, 2013 at 10:32
  • @OliverSalzburg Thank you for the comment, I ran the diagnostics and updated the questions with my findings from there. Please have a look. May 1, 2013 at 11:05

    Sorry, I can't see anything in that log that looks out of the ordinary :( I have only found one report of this issue. Maybe it's something specific to your user profile. You could try to run Google Drive in a new user profile, just to see if it is a system-wide problem. Possibly, not all files are removed when uninstalling and reinstalling Drive. Maybe Drive can't write to a certain file :\ May 1, 2013 at 11:16
  • @OliverSalzburg It works now that I switched Windows user accounts. Thanks for the help. May 7, 2013 at 5:58

This was what caused and fixed the problem for me:

My windows 7 User account was set to not have a password (so i can boot straight to desktop without having to enter credentials). In this configuration neither google drive or drop box would work. I set a password on the account, both work fine now.
