Hotmail/yahoo mail not working

[Guest]

HI


I bought a new DELL INSPIRON 8600 which has the WINDOWS XP OS loaded on it
with Service pack 2. I am trying to use the internet explorer to surf the
net. IT works fine except for checking hotmail and yahoo mails. I am not able
to check these 2 websites at all (mails). Even I think I have a problem
signing on or signing out of PASSPORT.

I have tried all the basic things like, delete cookies, temp files clean up
, digital signature file dll reload, security level check etc. I have even
re=installed the OS again to see if it might fix it. Still of no use.

Could you please let me know what else I need to do for the same to get this
thing working.

Regarding hotmail, I am able to reach the first page,. But as soon as I
enter my userid and password, it hangs up and soon says - Page not displayed
check ur internet connection.

With yahhoo, it takes me till the page showing INBOX. But once I clcik on
the folders like INBOX, it hangs up and the same error again.

Thanks

Same thing happens to me, Mani. I tried IE, Opera and Avant Browser and only
the last one works. But I still like to know how to solve this problem.

Several web sites may need "java" and XP SP2 does not come with one. You
can download it for free at http://www.java.com/en/

I do have "java" on my computer and I do not think it is the "java" problem;
it must be something else.
