Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / October 2008Windows Hotmail / Live does not load
I have some old Windows 98 Second Edition PCs that cannot access hotmail through WIndows Live. The IE status bar says errors on the page and the screen stays blank. I am not too familiar with Windows Live - am I correct in assuming it is the new version of Hotmail and will it work with Windows 98? > I have some old Windows 98 Second Edition PCs that cannot > access hotmail through WIndows Live.

What I did to get around the problem was to go here: http://www.msn.com/ And then click on the hotmail link near the upper left corner. > > > I have some old Windows 98 Second Edition PCs that cannot [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > And then click on the hotmail link near the upper left corner. That does not work for me... Help! Stuck in Windows 98=Land and unable to access my Hotmail account! a back door via http;//my.msn.com worked up to today to get to my account on my lovely 8 year old laptop running 98 sE but I seem to be completely up the creek now. Having been advised that I need to upgrade my browserI carried on anyway (in spite of the warning that it might not work properly). Guess what? It doesn't work properly. I can see the headers of the emails but can't open a single one. I haven't bought a new peice of hard or software for seven years. I wonder why microsoft don't seem to want to help me? > > > > > I have some old Windows 98 Second Edition PCs that cannot [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > That does not work for me... Help!

They get to the inbox. When they click a message hotmail acts like it wants to display but nothing happens. I verified this by logging into my hotmail account with the same response. I know my account works because I had accessed it just the day before. My parents commented that the change happened only about 2 to 3 weeks ago. > a back door via http;//my.msn.com worked up to today to get to my account on > my lovely 8 year old laptop running 98 sE but I seem to be completely up the [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > That does not work for me...

Using an older version of IE like me? (5.50.4807.2300) Doesn't work here, either. I installed Firefox 1.5.0.12 and Opera 9.52, and they both work just fine. I assume MS "fixed" the Hotmail pages to try to force everyone to "upgrade". So this is odd, older versions of IE are not working so it is nothing to do with IE7. Hotmail does work on web brosers other than IE. Still wondering what could have changed in the last couple weeks. > > > a back door via http;//my.msn.com worked up to today to get to my account on > > > my lovely 8 year old laptop running 98 sE but I seem to be completely up the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > I installed Firefox 1.5.0.12 and Opera 9.52, and they both work just fine. > I assume MS "fixed" the Hotmail pages to try to force everyone to "upgrade". > I have some old Windows 98 Second Edition PCs that cannot access hotmail > through WIndows Live.
