add me to your hotmail and see if you can then? just to try it out.

Are you going in off a bookmark? Mine does that sometimes. Try just doing www.hotmail.com and see if you can get in that way.

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 20:56

Nope not going in off bookmark, just typing it in.

Not sure what you mean Leonardo.

Mine's fine, nutty. I don't think adding anyone to your hotmail will work (??)

Janh · 24/07/2005 20:57

What about following the link on messenger? (or isn't messenger working either?)

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 20:58

The green bar at the bottom just gets half way and then stops and then it tells me it timed out.

what's your hotmail account I will add you and see if you can contact anyone?

snafu · 24/07/2005 21:00

Leonardo, she can't access her hotmail, that's the point.

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:00

I don't need to contact anyone, I need to read my emails.

have you used it in the last 3 days at all?

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:02

The last time I used it was Thursday I think, maybe wednesday, why ??

I had the same problem 2 weeks ago and if it is the same thing I know what can help.

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:03

Whats that ??

OP posts:

You have 2 hotmail addresses or you use something else on messenger?

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:04

My addy on MSN is my main addy with my main Internet provider, thats what I sign in with anyhow.

To access my hotmail though I have a hotmail addy and password.

OP posts:
leonardodavinci · 24/07/2005 21:04

because if it is not accessed regularly it can close for security reasons, happened to me.

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:04

Yeah but I accsessed it last week several times.

OP posts:

does it say retry or cancel with a short message above in a rectangular box?

Janh · 24/07/2005 21:06

I just tried going via www.hotmail.com and it was OK - is there any way it could be your ISP or connection or something?

SaintGeorge · 24/07/2005 21:06

Mine was working fine half an hour ago, but now it is doing the same as nutty's - just sticking on a blank white page.

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:08

A rectangular box comes up saying your operation timed out and then the addy of the site.

Don't think it's my conection cos i can get on evrything else.

OP posts:
Janh · 24/07/2005 21:10

Mine still OK....maybe it's a creeping paralysis

leonardodavinci · 24/07/2005 21:10

does it say contact your net passport or something

nutcracker · 24/07/2005 21:11

No just that the operation timed out when attempting to contact blah blah blah.
