Windows 7, Chrome/Firefox, unable to Launch Console in Console module.

I'm using windows 7 and accessing Treehouse via Chrome and Firefox. I'm currently in the Console module, and I click on the "Launch Module" button and nothing happens. What can I do to resolve this? I'd like to continue working through the courses, but I am being prevented from following along because of the broken link.

Try disabling all browser plugins and reply me if problem still persists.

There is some progress, the button does work now, the problem is that it can't reach the server... When I click on the button a new window shows up but the console does not load up...

I'm having a similar problem (OS: Windows 7, Browser: Chrome)

The error message reads:

"Error We're sorry. We're having trouble getting your computer set up. We are working on it right now. Please try again later."

Please advise.
