340855 2005-04-02 23:25:00 I have recently reloaded WIN XP onto my PC. I find that now I can't log into Hotmail any more ?? I get the sign in screen fine, enter my user name & password & click sign-in, then I wait wait wait & nothing. The browser just sits . Any ideas ??? Stirringaxe (7782)
340856 2005-04-02 23:33:00 What browser are you using you should try firefox :thumbs: Overdrive_5000 (4950)
340857 2005-04-02 23:35:00 I am using Internet Explorer Stirringaxe (7782)
340858 2005-04-02 23:39:00 Is SP1 or 2 installed? Or Java?

Just add your hotmail account in Outlook Express. A lot easier to use. Just use the same name/login..

340859 2005-04-02 23:40:00 No SP1 or SP2 at this stage. MS Java is installed Stirringaxe (7782)
340860 2005-04-02 23:43:00 I can access the mail using Outlook, but still want to access my partners email through the browser. Stirringaxe (7782)
340861 2005-04-02 23:45:00 Err Java doesnt get installed with XP by default.

You need SP1, (which installs Java), or Sun's Java. For Java to work.

340862 2005-04-02 23:55:00 I am aware that Java is not installed along with XP. I have installed the MS version of Java, but not the Sun version. Are you saying the browser won't work with the MS version ? Stirringaxe (7782)
340863 2005-04-03 00:05:00 Nope. Can't think of anything else that maybe stopping the hotmail site from working then.

Unless u need more updates to be installed for it work properly, or something.

Altho, I hope you've got a decent firewall, since SP1 or 2 aren't installed at the mo.
