Everytime I log into Google Proxy Server Connection Error-Always reset settings now can't get in at all
For a year now I have trouble getting into my google account. I have been able to change the proxy server settings to a variety of options in the tool bar "options" tab by clicking the "Advanced" link and then selecting "Connections Settings". I have reset the options to "no proxy", "auto detect proxy settings for this network", and "use system settings", always having to change it in order to get into my Google account. Now, nothing works and I need access into my Google email!!!!!! This has been an ongoing problem and I see other people have had this problem and one person stated that they are having the same problem as me but he was told to start a new thread without an answer being provided!! Really? I can't locate that new thread or an answer to fix this problem since the new settings aren't working. I even clicked the box "Do not prompt for authentication if password is saved" since my password is saved, and that isn't making a difference either.
