tutsiwarrior Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 after recently applying the usual windows XP upgrades I now find that I cannot send hotmail messages...they time out. I got a new super spec HP laptop with all the bells and whistles and this should not be happening. Is there a switch somewhere?... jesus, this is tiresome...

joka Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Is Hotmail the only website you are having problems with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james512 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 First thing i would do is check your proxy settings. If you've been using a proxy server somewhere it's possible they've blocked access to hotmail. If you've changed the proxy IP then change it back to whatever it was. Same goes for your ISP, so check with them if there's anything wrong. Other than that you might want to check for spyware/malware. Download Spybot and Adaware, run 'em and see what they come up with. It may just be a problem with the Hotmail servers and you might find that the problem will clear by itself shortly. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Take a look at your firewall software and any spamware apps they would both allow you to access the hotmail server but if wrongly configured will stop you sending mail. What firewall you using the standard xp one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Are you running Firefox? For some reason, if you've switched over to their Live servers, it seems to only work nicely with Internet Explorer. (so I just use my Gmail). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumballl Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Your PC is broken. Looks like you will have to buy a new one. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 thanks for the suggestions...the hotmail is working OK now. Looks like I caught hotmail on two occasions when it was slow or not available and it appeared to coincide with intalling some MS upgrades...'s OK now...
