277752 2004-10-03 00:27:00 hi,
when logged on (as admin) I cannot send emails from hotmail. This happens with IE and MYIE2 but not firebird. The strange thing is that if im on another computer or someone elses account I can send emails, and it doesnt matter which browser im using.

I recently installed XP SP2, but if this was causing the problem wouldnt it affect all users on this computer?

Im very puzzeled.
dave.

277753 2004-10-03 01:08:00 Hmm, try creating a new admin account. Maybe that will work.
Also, on other topics, did you say the Firebird web browser? Mozilla have changed the name to Firefox and are now on v.1.0 Preview Release. Its got some cool features, such as live bookmarks.
I hope someone can help you better than I can.

Not terribly surprising as IE and MYIE2 are basically the same program with a skin.

Your security settings in IE are probably incorrect - try setting it back to defaults.

277755 2004-10-03 20:41:00 I also have a problem with Hotmail. I just set up an account for a friend of mine, but when they try and access the mail through Outlook express they get an error saying they need to pay a subscription to use Outlook or Outlook express to access Hotmail. Now I don't have a paid subscription for msn but I can still access my hotmail account with outlook express, does anyone know why this is happening Odin (227)
277756 2004-10-03 22:24:00 You have to enable java again, as SP2 it disables it.
Either this was an overlook by MS or they are trying to push you into alternative browsers

From now on anyone opening a new hotmail account will not be able to use Outlook Express to open hotmail accounts without paying. I just read about it the other day. It is part of MS war against spam. The protocol used (VSR, Vam, RVM or something), I can't remember the name, is used by spammers. All existing users will be able to use it until sometime next year when they too will have to pay.
