For those who still have problems with Hotmail and that
have MSN Messenger on thier computer...

Go in Tools > Internet Options>

Click on "Security", select "Internet" and then "Custom
Level"
Searche for "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" and
disable it.

Disabling this will prevent Hotmail from showing the MSN
Messenger status near your email adress on your hotmail
account. If it is disabled, MSN Messenger wont be asked
to run which is most-likely the cause of the problem.

Try it and tell if it works. It worked for me and I want
to see if it can work for other people. Thx !
