If you got those two things for example, the account will not work with QT or any other 3rd party software. If that is not the case, login could fail for other reasons too - basically if QT cannot connect to the servers for any reason, you would get the same type of feedback. Does IE work on the same computer? If not, QT will not work (regardless of what your default browser is

I re-installed the software and patched to 3.9.8a. Things are back in order. Thanks for the quick assistance everyone.
