Hotmail/Messenger problems anyone????

Is it just me, or is anyone else unable to get either of these? Everything else seems to be in order...

Fine with me, except I keep getting a message from microsoft saying I need to update messenger, even though I don't use it :angry:

Back from work...and still no luck!! did a search and found that a news item reports that a small portion of users have been locked out, looks i was in that portion!! Not sure of cause, and no idea when its going to back

I havent a clue what is going on still!! I have the same problem still....

AOL usage is fine, I can get on any site. I reinstalled AOL, and removed messenger with a view to reinstalling, browser will not load hotmail.com and msn.com, but will load msn.co.uk i dont know how to get messenger back on, and even if i did get it on, will it work? any ideas anyone?

Managed to find another site to download from, which it is doing so now.... doubt the messenger service will work though.

I sent you a text Di, but this answers my question. I'm having the same problem still. I suggest you sign up with an alternative free, local rate isp for this sort of eventuality. I'm with BT Openworld but there are loads around - and now that the evening/weekend rate is just 6p for a whole hour then its still pretty cheap

Thanks andrew,
I thought it was just me, but i went onto AOL help (which i should have done at the start!) and they say they are having problems, will try what you said, u may see me later then!
