You can't log in? Do you want me to send you an invite?

Maybe it's something to do with your active X controls, javascript, or something? My school macintoshes won't let me log onto GMail. My boyfriend's ibook wouldn't let him either but he did something and I guess he allowed the actrive x controls and whatnot, and now I can get on gmail from there.

Just a though, at the top of the screen does it say it requires additional plug-ins to properly view the site?

Well... perhaps you should type in gmail.google.com or www.gmail.com next time. Clicking "I'm feeling lucky" just makes it so it chooses a random link.

Clicking "I'm feeling lucky" just makes it so it chooses a random link. it doesn't choose a random link, it automatically goes to the first link in the search, which happens to be gmail.google.com. and i tried writing in those search queries, but they didn't work either. it says it can't contact google.com. edit- does anyone know any place to contact them, i.e. via email or something, cause i can't find any contact information that works.  i tried gmail-support@google.com, but i get a message back saying that i should check the gmail help, which doesn't give me the help or info i need. and all the active x controls options are for internet explorer only. |
