Creative Cloud Desktop App refuses log-in for Windows 8

[tNovaScreen]

I've been getting this "unknown server error" for 4 days on my windows 8 creative cloud desktop app. I cannot install other CC aps until you resolve this.

-- This has been a problem ever since creative cloud FORCED me to "upgrade" the creative cloud desktop app last weekend. 
The Desktop CC app worked fine before the forced upgrade.

The error looks like this on my screen...

To solve the problem, you must explain how do I get the upgrade creative cloud app to read my correct log in info?

I'm using windows 8, AND I've already tried the following...

1. re-installing creative cloud from the creative cloud website (did it 4 times now)
2. changing the folder "OOBE" to "OOBE_old" (did not work)
3. I also tried installing this exe: PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/win/ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe , which did not work

Hi Terranovascreen,

Which OOBE folder have you renamed ? There are 2 which exist.

Please follow the suggestion in the link below which might help :-

I renamed the one located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE

I'll try the one here:
]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE

...But it takes a while to download. I'll log again after I've tried the one under my user name...

I'm using windows 8, and there is no "AppData" folder under my user folder name.

Only the following folders are listed...
- Contacts
- Desktop
- Downloads
- Favorites
- Links
- My Documents
- My Music
- My Pictures
- My Videos
- Saved Games
- Searches

So, the only location I can find for the OOBE folder is under "C:\Program Files (x86)"
