Did you click on the egrid button on your prefrences?
I had to reenter mine, must have had a line off or something. Additionally I had to reset the prefrence to open the old file instead of downloading a new one.

It not only does the E-Grid log-on but has a lot of other useful features including showing open time on your VIPS calendar. Only drawback is it is a Windows program, but it works on a MAC thru bootcamp, parallels, vmware, etc.
Sorry for the shameless plug, but you gotta know how to make life easier, not harder.
