    Office 2010 can't connect to Skydrive

    HELLO EVERYONE!

    I've seen numerous thread elsewhere but not here about this problem:

    Everytime I try to connect an office 2010 program to skydrive I just get it asking for my password repeatedly.

    I've tried the following, as recommended by other sites:
    1. Check proxy settings (I don't have any)
    2. Reset IE settings
    3. Run as administrator
    4. Confirming that WebClient service is enabled.

    The only solution I've not been able to try is to run Office 2010 programs in XP SP3 compatibility mode because for office 2010 programs I only have the option of windows server 2008 or vista compatibility modes.

    Additionally, I've only tried on 1 computer so far.

    Anyone have a fix for this problem or know why office 2010 won't run in compatibility XP mode?

    I'm using Windows 7 x64 and Office 2010 Pro x64.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've confirmed that this happens on both my laptops. Anyone have any ideas?
