Re: Did Respironics Degrade the Comfort Gel Design?

Cannot Access My User Control Panel

When I try, I enter my UID and PW as requested. I receive a "Logged in" message, but after 3 seconds I am presented with another login screen. This cycles indefinitely.

Also, I cannot find a link to send a message or email to a forum administrator - does one exist?

What might be the problem?
