Hi Susan, I'm having the same difficulty here. The only thing I can get is that when I press the application key on the cube shortcut and choose to "Run as administrator" I can verify the aapplication on Twitter but after that has completed any time I try to gain access to it it opens then collapses close again. I also tried allowing it through the firewall but still even with that done I had no joy. I should add that I am using windows 8 here, haven't tried it on windows 7 yet.

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!
