if this is a new hotmail account, and you haven't paid for it, then the
answer is no, you can't use it with Outlook.

outlook when i go to send a message i have composed i am instructed that i
need to register an account .... do you know wht that is all about?

MSN has stopped allowing access to their free Hotmail accounts, for the most
part. This restriction began in Septermber of 2004.
 
cheers thanks for that ... any ideas as to what web based free emil i can use
via my microsoft outlook?
 
There's always yahoo. I'm really shocked you can't get google in the UK.
I'm sure there are a bunch of others as well.

certainly can - needs an invitation AFAIK -
to the OP - if in the UK you can sign up for a Yahoo UK email account which
(AFAIK) can still be accessed by Outlook.....
