Since September 1, WebDAV access to Live Hotmail/MSN accounts has
been disabled.
For Outlook 2003 and 2007, you can use the use the Outlook Connector
instead.
For Outlook 2002 and previous, you'll have to configure it with POP3
instead.

For more details and the new account configuration see;

I hit the fix button and now Office does not work. It keeps asking for an
activation code or CD. I havent had to do this in 4 years? I cant find the
CD. Is there a way to undo this. I now know I should have not done fix but
its already done?

"I havent had to do this in 4 years?" This suggests that you are using Office 2003. If so, I suggest on your MENU bar go to Help. In there there is a separate item called "Detect & Repair". Click on it and then wait for about 5 minutes and everything should start working. You won't need your CDs if this works as intended and if you installed the defaults.

Let us know if this worked.

You could try a system restore to a previous date if you have System Restore
enabled (is the default).
You otherwise have to contact Microsoft for a replacement CD and/or
activation code. As this is an end-user to end-user newsgroup and don't work
for Microsoft, we cannot help you with that.
