Thank you for your prompt response. For the record I was running SP# and
IE8
as I try to keep my computer current. I have made a copy of your response
so that I'll have the appropriate links.
Now to address the problem: I was checking all my firewalls, anti-virus,
etc programs; and where it was available to accept programs, I tried to
make
Windows Live, Hotmail, etc. acceptable.
Then on a whim, I signed out of MyMSN site; and then resigned in. This
apparently corrected the problem (hopefully for good).
Are you running WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3? Are you running IE6, IE7, or
IE8?

[NB: There are separate sections for IE6 and IE7 (incorrectly titled
"Windows Explorer 7"); the IE7 section applies to IE8]

When I click on the Hot Mail link, I get the following error message:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." I'm signed in to Widows
Live. Something is preventing me from accessing Hot Mail (Qwest Mail)
and
I
don't know what. I'm using WindowsXP with all the latest updates. This
is
a
sporatic problem that occasionally corrects itself; but I would like to
know
how to correct it.
