I previously had installed MSN Messenger on my machine (Windows XP with SP 2
installed), but I removed it and Windows Messenger (or so I thought).
However, everytime I boot up my machine and attempt to log-in to Hotmail
through IE, I get an error message from Hotmail that there have been too many
unsuccessful attempts at logging into my .Net Passport account and that the
account has been temporarily locked out.
This is never an issue when I am logged onto my Windows 2000 machine in the
office. I actually had the opportunity to witness it today when my
father-in-law booted up my XP machine at home while I was in the office and I
had difficulty logging into Hotmail during the time he was on my home
machine. Has anyone had any experience like this? I'm assuming that some
Microsoft software is repeatedly attempting to log into my .NET passport
account with an old password that no longer is appropriate.
Thanks - Jeff
