Hi, first of thanks for this site, I am new and you are great and if I'm not posting in the right place please forgive me. The problem started in the afternoon when I tried to check hotmail it was fine in the morning. Now I can't access hotmail from MSN explorer or Internet Explorer or Outlook. I did everyrthing I could fine that was recommended to do, clearing history, deleting cookies, removed IE and MSN and reloaded it etc. Anyway I downloaded another web browser OPERA yesterday and hotmail works fine although it hasn't solved the problem in IE. Also I did hijack this today and this is what came up, it is the first time I've run it :

And I didn't delete anything because I'm not sure what it all means but if you have any help I will love you for it, I have spent 3 days on the web trying to find the solution with no avail except for the OPERA option.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you,
Danielle.
