Hi,
Try these easy steps first. You might get lucky. ;-)

First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF
folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

Then find the Cookies folder(s) and delete any cookies from hotmail, msn or
passport. Or delete all cookies.

Check that settings aren't too restrictive in Internet Options> Privacy
(Cookies)

Other possibilities at:

Hope this helps,
