Re: problem with live sign.

Hi,

This accident wouldn't have affected your Hotmail account. Hotmail accounts expire if you
don't log into them at least once per month (30 days).

If you're interested, you can migrate your Hotmail account to Windows Live Mail where it's
every 120 days instead. You can migrate your account here:

Greetings,

It was a mistake on Microsoft's side earlier at the beginning of the week. A server was
misconfigured with an incorrect setting which then was saved in the registry on clients
when they attempted to sign in. The .reg file just removes this setting therefore
allowing you to sign back in.

What is causing the problem with live not letting a lot of us signing in? I
did download and run the .reg file that was offered and it fixed it for me,
but for how long? Why is this happening? I use live messenger to talk to my
family that is stationed all around Europe.
