Post From: MSFT unknown contract description?

I opened my intraday chart for MSFT and I got the message that the contract description is unknown and would not update. I was able to use this intraday chart in October 2013 and did not have a problem. Now that I opened it again to trade it today, I could not get the intraday chart to update.
