I added 2 campains this morining and now it wont let me start anymore. This also happened the other day, I get this message,

I am not using the back button, is there a limit to how many campains you can start on one day or are they just having problems?

mahlon, no limit to the number of campaigns you can start in one day (well, up to 25 total at any rate...), so that won't be the issue.

My guess is that this would have been a temporary problem, and that trying again in 10 minutes would have 'fixed' it.

Also, I have learned over time that re-booting my computer seems to resolve about 95% of all issues. It is almost like magic or something. So I would suggest a re-boot, should this happen again. At the very least, try a new browser window.

Ok, when I start 2 new adgroups and go to start a 3rd, I get that error. If I clear cookies and temp files then close browser and then start all over, I can start 2 more ad-groups. Then it starts all over with clearing cache and re-logging in. My pc has been re-booted and that did not help. The folks at Google Adwords are looking into this. My IE6 settings have not been changed and it is allowing all cookies so I'm a bit perplexed.

So it is something in the cache that gets me this error.
