I have it unblocked in my firewall...ZoneAlarm.
Still getting the same error.
No problem with 2007....now using 2009
Any ideas?
It is not a bug, something is either blocking the software's access to the Internet or the installation may have been corrupted. There are a few things that can account for that error message, all of the them are fixable.
If you're using the 2009 version and still have the same issue, then there is something unique to your set up that is causing this.
