A few years ago I set up sync for my desktop and laptop but I never used it. I just got an android phone and I now wish to sync.

So I went to do this and I tried to use the I already have an account option but no luck, it does nothing.

But the set-up an acct option works.

So I think I no longer have an account and I attempt to set up one with the old/same addy, it say no acct taken.

But I am unable to get the device or the pc to allow any syncing.

So I deleted the acct and I assume that worked because when I go to set up the new one it allows me to use that same addy.

But when I did try to set up a new account the select what you want to sync function does nothing, and after filling in capcha etc. I click next and the pop-up closes.

No confirmation and nothing else.

Please help me to figure this out, I am getting sooooooooo frustrated.
