tweetdeck-02-676x535I’ve recently upgraded my Windows 7 installation to Windows 8. Unfortunately Tweetdeck wouldn’t connect to my account anymore and showed the not so useful error “Unable to connect”.

After a lot of searching I’ve found a simple and unlogical solution:

  1. Start Internet Explorer
  2. Navigate to https://api.tweetdeck.com
  3. Navigate to https://twitter.com
  4. Close Internet Explorer
  5. Start Tweetdeck
  6. Log in to your account

Now Tweetdeck works like it should, and profile images should appear again.
