Sorry folks for an off topic topic. I've just installed Noron internet security 2003. And everything seems to be going fine expect that when I go to hotmail it doesn't show anything.

Specifically I go to the page www.hotmail.com and then put i my username and p'word it refreshes the page and says done in the bottom left of the browser but absolutely nothing is displayed on the page.

Obviously this makes it rather awkward to check my mail!

Any help welcomed (urgently eek)

HARUMPH ,no joy doing that I'm afraid. It is odd as even though I switch Norton off it still does the same thing. I am sort of assuming it has put an entry in the register or summat like that.

I did have that problem once when i setup a proxy server, i dont think its anything to do with the firewall. Try deleting all your cookies and see if that makes a difference. Failing that it may be that you are blocking cookies from being downloaded and as hotmail cant write the cookie it just resends the page as it assumes you arnt logged in.

Had a similar problem a while back.
If you view the source it may be trying to redirect. I copied the url from the source to the address bar and it worked.

Happened a couple of times then disappeared.

Frankly I'd just stop using Hotmail
