The article has several ideas you should try.

none of those things work :( i have tried them

A big thank you for the information relating to unchecking the http 1.1 setting in the advanced tab, to get hotmail to work. I have spent months wasting time trying to resove this problem. I can now finally rest and read my emails.

my hotmail inbox comes,but i'm unable to open any email. hyper ink comes but no action occurs.

I dont know if it is becaue Im travelling but I havent been able to enter my hotmail for a week now (since the end of April 2005) Maybe its because of dodgy internet cafes in the south america but im really worried someone has hijacked my account. It just goes to a blank screen after logging on. I also bought the $15 package to try to fix this but to no avail. I really need to check my mails and am getting very annoyed. Is anyone else expeeriencing similar problems at the moment?

Cheers

Nothing had changed on my system but I kept getting an error about cookies being disabled (this went on for several days). I tried all of your suggestions. Finally, your notes about playing with the numbers achieved results.

The initial hotmail login is:
http://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?id=2

I changed the id to 18 (10 was for a .net member login and 23 wasn't valid), input my login info and clicked 'sign in'. Everything worked. And it seems to have reset whatever wasn't working because on subsequent logins, I didn't have to change the number value for id=

I am receiving viruses from the following hotmail email addresses. How do I stop them from coming in
hostmaster@hotmail.com
service@hotmail.com

how do I remove my hotmail addy completely and stop getting e-mail notices for it, and get it off my IM sign on?

Cynthia: ultimately, you can't. The best you can do is, depending on your mail client, set up a rule to automatically delete email coming from those addresses.
