Newly installed IE7 prevented OE6 from accessing hotmail a/c

[Guest]

Have been using OE6 to access my hotmail a/c for years, ie, although I'm
using the 'free' hotmail a/c, I've been utilizing OE6 to read my emails
during the DAV support and as such, I could still read my 'free' hotmail...
that is, until an hour ago when I upgraded to IE7.

OE6 kept asking me to verify my hotmail a/c and password... although both
fields were set as default.

Has anyone any solution (short of downgrading to IE6 and see if my OE6 works
again?)? Appreciate it.
