The error message says:
" Failed to authenticate using Oauth(1).
401: Unauthorized "
v2.90a
happened on an older version as well, tried to update to latest one and it didnt fix it.
any idea how to fix this?

Thanks! i read through the threads and found the problem, my BIOS clock want synced with the windows time, so i fixed this and now it seems to work just fine!
i have no idea how those things have anything to do with each other, but someone mentioned it in one of the threads and it works now! (or maybe it works because the computer restarted when i accessed the BIOS)
