Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / July 2005Hotmail Hijack?
hi guys this morning i tried connecting to my main hotmail account. i typed in the username/password as normal, it went throught the process of loading page (usual text in address bar and padlock on status bar), then displays 'cannot load page' after about 30 seconds. i have 2 other hotmail accounts and they both work fine... i have made no changes to software/hardware and have run full virus/hijack/spyware progs, all clear. all other internet pages load ok also. im obviously concerned if my main hotmail account has been hijacked or something like that ;( any advice welcomed. My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: > hi guys > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > any advice welcomed. Bah, silly idea I suppose but try deleting your cookies and temp internet files?

Greetings, Some people were complaining about some Hotmail outages yesterday, they may still be ongoing. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2005 Jonathan Kay.

It's longer than 24 hours according to some people. I'm not sure but from the looks of the groups people started complaining about burps with Hotmail on the 21st including the browser crashing when you try to sign out if you're lucky enough to get in at all. One of the things you can try is PopPeeper www.poppeeper.com - I've tossed down some of the symptoms I've seen in the groups (they seem related and showed up at the same time so I'm inclined to think they are) at the forum: Hotmail is broken...: http://kgiii.info/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=27 (So it's not really news but I couldn't think of a better spot to put it at this point. Hotmail going down doesn't warrant news really. <g> Still, it's free and I've been using them for years. Even a paid account complaint - one for MSDN subscription and another an MSN subscriber...) Galen Signature"But there are always some lunatics about. It would be a dull world without them." Sherlock Holmes I am having the same problem since yesterday... does anyone have any idea on when it will be resolved or how to resolve it.
