Hi, 

Like many people it would seem, I have suddenly become unable to access SkyDrive using the app on my PC. I can open files from the web link, but whenever I try to use the app I just get the following error message: "There was a problem connecting to SkyDrive. Check your internet connection, and then try again." However, no matter how many times I try, it will not connect.  The most annoying thing about it is that it has stopped allowing my OneNote program to sync.  When I check the settings, the tick-box for "Let me use SkyDrive to fetch any of my files on this PC" is now *unticked* (it has always been ticked before), but is now greyed out and nothing I do seems to allow me to tick the box.

I have restarted my laptop several times, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app more than once (and yes, I have downloaded the newest version of the app).  I have checked my firewall and it shows it allowing connections, both in Private and Public domains.

My SkyDrive syncs fine between my Android phone and my work PC (using Office 2010 on XP) but it has now stopped working on my home laptop. I am using Office 2010 and Chrome on Windows 7, 64bit.
