Hi Susan, Never had that problem... but maybe this extract from The Qube Readme might help: - - - - logging into twitter The first time you open a twitter session, your web browser will open and load a twitter web page which will askyou to enter your twitter username and password to authorize The Qube. After logging in, twitter will provide you with a number. Return to The Qube, enter this number and you will be ready to get started. The following sections will tell you everything you need to know about using Twitter. Note: there have been a few reports of trouble connecting to twitter when certain firewalls are in use. The most common problems are with the Vipre firewall. If you are unable to connect, you may need to add an exception to the firewall. In the case of Vipre, you want to add twitter.com as a web exception. Generally, you either need to create an exception for twitter.com or for The Qube itself. - - - - When you click on The Qube icon and hear the bong, try pressing Alt+Tab a few times to check if a browser window has opened a Twitter web page requesting your username and password. Good luck!
