  • I might have a workaround for you guys. I managed to fix the problem by deleting my temporary internet files and my cookies.

    Try that.

  • Deleting the temporary files and cookies worked for me as well. Would you still like our log files Tim?

  • Yep, deleting the cookies solved the problem for me also. Too back I now need to re-login on multiple web sites. I tired to find the specific cookie that caused the problem but due to lack of time I decided to go and delete all of them. At the end it may even be useful to remove all ADs servers cookies

  • I found the exact cookie that caused the problem - the domain was login.live.com. After I deleted this, I no longer got the 500 Internal Server Error.

  • I found that deleting cookies need to take place from IE as well.  I  tried doing that with Firefox and nothing, deleting cookies in IE resolved it immediately.

  • Noam and  Oisin... thanks for the tip on the login.live.com cookie.  I was having the same 500 error (as well as a 401 error when trying to synchronize a folder.  Deleting the cookie (for some reason I found two login.live.com cookies) worked just great.
