Messenger changes when SP2 applied

Since I applied SP2 to WXPH, my messenger's interaction with email changed.

It used to be that the 'My e-mail Inbox' selection on the Messenger task bar
icon's context menu would take me into the Hotmail web interface in IE.
Since I updated to SP2, this link now takes me into Outlook Express. Why has
this changed? Is it possible to change it back?

I had been using the web interface to Hotmail because all attempts to
configure OE to retrieve my email from Hotmail have been futile with this
computer. A previous system running WME had been able to retireve hotmail
using OE, but enver on this one. Following the instructions, I add an
account, tell it that it's going out to an HTTP based server, select hotmail
as the server, and I'm always greeted by the message below. All the KB
articles I could find on this never helped.

Can any body help me to get this worthless software to work?

Go back to the previous version of windows mesenger.
The new one does not offer msn add-in.
