Login Problems

There are several major reasons why you may have trouble logging into Maintenance Connection:

  • You may have a Pop-up Blocker: Pop-up Blockers come with many 3rd party toolbars such as the Yahoo toolbar in addition to being a part of Internet Explorer in some cases. You may have multiple Pop-up Blockers installed in your system without even knowing it.  All Pop-up Blockers must either be disabled or be configured to allow Pop-ups for Maintenance Connection (adding 'maintenanceconnection.ca' to the allowable list in your Pop-up blocker configuration). For more information, please see (Pop-up Blocker Settings.)

  • Your browser may be using an incompatible text encoding: Sometimes, the login page will not display correctly if your browser isn't set for Western text encoding.

If this doesn't solve the problem, select either "UTF-8" or Western text encoding.
