Begin Here
Hi All,
Things are continuing to go downhill for me. I now cannot log in at:
- avsforum.com
ebay.com
cnet.com
amazon.com
imdb.com
sourceforge.net
answers.microsoft.com <-- new
A couple of days ago I could still long in at microsoft.com. Today, no.
Also, now when I attempt to log in at either CNet or Microsoft I
sometimes get this: "Something went wrong. Try again later" or it sometimes just fails silently.
What is going wrong? I don't know and the web sites didn't tell me. Of course, they know, but don't bother to say.
I'm elegible for the Free Windows 10 Upgrade, but I can't contact Microsoft to get it. Perhaps Windows 7 is cursed. Perhaps installing Windows 10 will heal my disease. I've tried Windows with VirtualBox running, Windows with VirtualBox not running, Linux, Firefox (stripped), PaleMoon (in so-called "Safe Mode"), Emply HOSTS file, blocking HOSTS file, with JAVA enabled, with JAVA disabled, and many, many virus scans (though a virus seems extremely unlikely).
Problem Statement:
To refresh your memory: I log in, but I'm not logged in (i.e., site won't let me do things). When I try to log in again, nothing happens (or a blank popup appears then disappears, or the page refreshes but is unchanged). When I try to reregister (as a test) the site says "You are already logged in". When I'm at the user-configuration screens, all is okay, but if I log out and log back in (which succeeds) and then go to the main site, I'm not logged in. Every day my Internet goes darker. I can still log in here, but not many other places.
If someone can contact Microsoft on my behalf, give them

and tell them what's happening to me (copy this message). Perhaps they will contact me. If more convenient, give them my phone #:
Moderator note: telephone number removed.
Thank you.
