Carolyn Bass needs a halo for her quick and easy directions. Thanks Carolyn!

It's a very simple fix when you know it. The problem lies in the Adobe Air directory.

Windows Vista:

1. Close or confirm that TweetDeck is not running.

2. Navigate to C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Air\ELS

3. In that folder you'll find a folder called: TweetDeckFast (with a bunch of numbers after it)

4. Delete the TweetDeckFast folder.

5. Restart TweetDeck and the password box pops up, allowing you to log-in.

Windows XP:

1. Follow above

2. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\ELS

3-5 Follow above.

The problem here was a crash of the bridge between Adobe Air and the connection to Twitter's API.
