anyone else here have hotmail and can't log in?

it won't even let me access the "forgot my password" option

Yup. I tried rebooting my office computer just before leaving (I'm home now, about to try my first A. Fernandez cigar). It use to be the scariest words in the English language were "we're from the government, we're here to help you". That doesn't scare me us much as the words "Microsoft is promising the new software/company/whatever will improve blah blah blah".

I never had any serious problems with Hotmail until Microdork bought it.

dang it! well at least I know I'm not going crazy...at least not from thinking my hotmail acct. hates me

I need it to work! crap

carp carp

double carp crap

oh yeah

and "we recommend you upgrade to Internet Explorer 8..blah blah blah"

guffers!

#4 They couldn't just come right out and say "we recommend you find out what a bullet tastes like by pulling the trigger" now, could they? Think of all the bad pub they'd get.

I wonder if I reinstall 7 and then delet 8 if that would help

cahahaahahahah cahahahhahahah

apparently IE8 is having compatibility problems with some programs.

when i installed it, there was a page asking if i wanted IE8 to "solve"? these issues and i clicked yes and so far have had no problems.

i am barely able to fire this puppy up and use it, so i'm not sure how i got lucky in that regard.

well then f it

I'm getting 7

thank you for the clarification, cigarman

makes me wanna spit

cigarman! that did the trick

thank you!!!

good thing I got a box today:)

not sure the one I found will fit

might still need to go to the rez and get a smaller one

but I like the one I found so we will see:)ahahhahahah

yaya!

don't spit...you'll get it all over everybodys screens

:O)~~~~~~~

did you try going directly to windows update and load it from there?

no...I tried what you did through the help button in 8 first and it worked;)

yeah!

cool...glad it worked

Um, IE?

Download firefox 3. Do it yesterday.

ed always wants me to use that

I tried it a few years ago and it loaded slower even though ed said it's faster

why load it yesterday?

tell me before I try again, please

I was having the same problem but it seems to be working right now. Who knows for how long though!!

Does anyone know if this was a hotmail problem, or an IE problem.

Firefox means you don't have to watch any webads that you don't want to.

Firefox hotmail is working fine.

Tabbed browsing in Firefox is much better. Firefox has built in spell check. Firefox is safer with your information. Better password management.

favorite browsers are a good thing

I'm not gonna even try again until tomorrow. BTW, had IE 7 on a newer computer at one of my offices. Didn't like it. I still use 6.0235349845 or whatever the updates have taken it to because I prefer it over other browsers. Hotmail wasn't a problem with IE 6.xx until Thursday night, and I'm still far from convinced that is the problem anyway.

no problems, using safari browser
