I’ve been trying to use the Google Talk desktop application. I get this message:
 |
“You have logged in successfully, but need to sign-up for Google Talk. Click here to enable your account for Google Talk. When you are finished, click retry.” … so I did…. but… |
Going to the link didn’t really help. I just get logged in to download the same talk client. Viscious circle… I can use the Google Gadget, but I want to use the talk client – which won’t let me in. So I clicked on the “I cannot log in” and get lost with the questionnaire… don’t you think that there should be a “none of the above” option in the screen-shot I went through below?
Do I click “yes” or “no” where it says “was this article the information I was looking for?”. It’s the right heading… but none of the right options for my problem 
Help me Google – or anyone else – how can I get the Talk Client to work?
Hi Dixon — you could post in the Google Talk help group at http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Talk?hl=en
It’s monitored by a bunch of Googlers and who knows, perhaps one of the users there has a workaround that’ll work for you
(I don’t have an answer, I barely use Talk outside of Gmail…)
