Blank entries in the Tools -> Online Center

My quicken (Windows) data file has got a bit large (200mb), so I made a copy purged some of the older data, exported the data to a QIF file. Then proceeded to create a new data file and imported the data. Everything worked well *EXCEPT* QW can no longer connect to any of the institutions. When I go to Tools -> Online, it is completely blank.

Suggestions please?

    When using QIF to export data from one file and then import into a new file it does not transfer all the account online service setups.  Instead, all the accounts in the new file will be manual accounts.  The accounts need to be setup for OSU via Add Account or Set Up Now, again.  Have you done that?

    Sorry, yes I did do the Add Account. This didn't work, got an error "We couldn't get information about Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. This account will be set up as a manual account". Then I proceeded to "Set up Now" and this also fails with an OL-297-A.
