I was receiving the same error message and tried
everything (including sending a 'please help' e-mail --
never received a response). At the time, I was running a
trial version of ZoneAlarm (anti-hacking, popup
suppression, etc.). The trial period ended, I killed the
free version, and - Voila! - the problem disappeared.

If you are running a similar program, try suspending its
operation and see if you can then sign on. Good luck.
