Re: Hotmail/Outlook web page not found

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Well, too late now. I got so annoyed that I blew away my WinXP install and
created a new one.

I had tried creating a new user account, but had the same problem with
Hotmail, but not with an MSN HTTP email account. Weird.

I had removed and reinstalled Office XP, that did not solve the problem
either.

The good thing nowadays is that I have two PCs and this will motivate me to
learn more Linux.
