I’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:
- Start Internet Explorer
- Navigate to https://api.tweetdeck.com
- Navigate to https://twitter.com
- Close Internet Explorer
- Start Tweetdeck
- Log in to your account
Now Tweetdeck works like it should, and profile images should appear again.
