Hotmail signin problems -- may not be the right place but ...whenever I try
to send message to hotmail, the process doesn't work (page not found
messages).

I keep getting the following error message when trying to login to Hotmail.
I have 2 PCs networked via a local router to a cable modem (RoadRunner
service). Error occurs only on one of the PCs. I'm running WinXP with
current updates and IE 6+.

I've reset Internet options to default and checked for "spamware" that might
be redirecting me, still doesn't work. I access hotmail via money.msn.com
and pick hotmail tab, it works, or use the other PC to sign in directly.

========error message========
Server Error in '/' Application
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config"
configuration file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute
set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

The hotmail, and passport sites are having trouble lately. I hear it's a maintenance/cleaning error that knocked out a few servers.
It should be corrected by now.

Mark,

I've read about those problems as well, but I this problem still occurs. I
could understand if it only happened occasionally on a PC, but this is every
time I try to log in. On my other PC it works OK every time.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
