Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one?

> I cannot register the login page as a trusted site.

Please elaborate.

IE Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Edit> type in

    hotmail.com
    passport.net

and Allow All Cookies for each in turn.

IE Tools>Internet Options>Security>Trusted Sites>Require server
verification... (uncheck) > now try adding

    hotmail.com
    passport.net

to Trusted Sites (though I do *not* think this should be necessary at all).
