I've had a look and can't find this question here. My wife uses Hotmail (associated with her MSN Messenger account). For the last few weeks she hasn't been able to connect to Hotmail, either thorugh Messenger or directly through MSN. It seems many people have had this problem, but I can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder how much she uses her hotmail email?? I ask as I believe they cancel your account if it isn't used for a while.

I have heard of this problem, too, but am not affected myself- my Hotmail address still delivers the daily dose of spam.

A couple of friends have been unable to access it, though... perhaps all the Christmas cards caused an overload?

Thanks for the suggestions Ren and Ozzz. She does use it quite a bit. I've tried all sorts of suggestions and have come up with a solution myself. If anybody else has the problem, re-install IE6.
