I was getting server problems and it would not let me sign in. I went to customer support and used the live chat line. Here is a brief list of what had been said:

A ERROR HAS OCCURRED ON THE SERVER PLEASE TRY AGAIN.........I PLAYED LASTNIGHT WITH NO PROBLEM......... [10:26:18 AM]
Chris: I have checked your account & everything is okay there.You are requested to uninstall the game & reinstall it. It will hopefully fix your issue. [10:31:53 AM]
: why did it work ok last night? [10:33:43 AM]
: which tells me the game is working OK [10:34:44 AM]
Chris: It is a temporary issue & our engineers are working on it. [10:37:57 AM]
Chris: Within 24 hours, it will go alright. [10:38:18 AM]
As you can see they got the engineers involved and I was able to sign in. Hope this will help.................cloys1

Hi...

You can also try to uninstall and reinstall the online components separate ( no need to uninstall TW08 game ):

When you want to uninstall....and reinstall online components:

To uninstall online components:
go to folder: ea sports online
C:\Program Files(x86)\EA SPORTS\EA SPORTS online
inside you will see icon: Easouninstaller
Click: Easouninstaller icon , and online components will be removed

To reinstall online components:

Go to your DVD drive with TW08 game......right click DVD drive and choose: Browse or explore
(Or dubble click DVD drive )
Now on TW08 DVD look for folder: Common Easo
Inside Common Easo folder, you will see: Easo installer
Dubble click: Easo installer........and online components will be reinstalled.

Gunpower61: I have question before I try the information that you gave me. I had to do a system restore this past Saturday because of some issues and I was wonder if I may had done something wrong. I have yet to reinstall my software for AT&T Yahoo my ISP server, I am using the AOL that had been installed orignally on the computer would that be an issue. I have Norton Anti Virus and have my Firewall diabled, should I be doing anything else.
Thanks

Absolutely, AOL would be an issue - I would restore the Yahoo ISP software first and then try EASO again.

I have noticed a rash of connection problems lately I know someone who can get into EASO join a tourney but gets error 777 when he hits play now,there is someone else that hits play now and gets kicked to desk top everytime. i have also seen people in lobbys discussing probs in the chat box lately. Uninstallig game and/or easo components haven,t fixed the probs.

Hi to all of you that posted things for me to try to solve my problem, well to make a long story short, I applied one of the thoughts and that was turning off my Norton Security while I was trying to get into the Match-up Lobby and Tournament Lobby, it worked, so I guess that was the problem I had when I was getting the msg EA was giving me, so now I have to turn it off and set a time period that I want it off while I play.

Thanks again to all of you

TW programs need firewall permission
- if they are blocked, it should show in your firewall logs and/or display a firewall alert

The files are:

tw2008.exe
atljabber.exe
sportswrapper.exe

Hi oldgoat...

What are the specifications of your PC, graphics card etc..... ?

You can try to clean up your pc, maybe you have a lot of unnecessary programs in the background running.
Maybe good idea to run CCleaner, it is free and very good. You can find it on link below:

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Note: It will also remove cookies, so write down your username and password of EASO before you run CCleaner.

Just a note, Gunny........ you can go into the settings with CC and exclude the cleaning of cookies.
