Re: whats up with Windows Live Hot Mail?

Hi, Anna!

I'm delighted to hear that you fixed the problem.

Browsers these days (and other software, too) are so complex that the best
solution sometimes is just to wipe the slate clean and reconfigure.

I find it interesting that, even though I almost exclusively use Outlook for
grabbing my messages from Hotmail, it, too, gets told that it is using the
wrong password on occasion. I just click the little remember password
checkbox and submit the request again, and I get my mail on the second try.

I'm glad no one deleted your message from this newsgroup before you could
find a solution. I understand that the mods have to try to keep their groups
on topic, but I'd still rather just see folks get help when they need it. I
only mentioned that this was the "wrong" newsgroup because I was thinking you
might find more expert advice in another forum -- though, now that I think of
it, I'm not sure where I'd go to post with a Hotmail problem.

Heh, I'd just go to Hotmail support.

;)

Have a good one!

I could be wrong, but I know of no Vista setting, per se, that would do
this.

Please let us know what you learn from the troubleshooting process with
Hotmail support.

Good luck!


I resolved it by something I did. Lord only know what did it. I used
windows Safari browser to login to my hotmail accounts using this vista
machine. I set both addresses to save the login to this computer. [I have 4
browsers on board for some web page work that I do.] At the same time I
reset all settings in IE to default and removed the hotmail address and
live. address from the safe zone.

I logged in automatically just by typing in www.hotmail.com in IE browser.
I must have satisfied something in IE.

Thanks for talking me through this and making me think about what I can do.
I know I posted to the wrong NG, but it helped to not just delete my
question like other MS groups have done when in the wrong group.
