hotmail

by bucknskip - 10/31/08 6:44 PM

I am running ZoneAlarm Security Suite. I do not have any other antivirus or antispyware. I am unable to access hotmail or windows live. "login.live.com is taking too long to respond." (Firefox3) Unable to reach server (IE7). I have not blocked the site. I have disabled cooki and ad blocking in both browsers. Any suggestions?

No luck. I have tried all of the fixes at Windows Live and tried uninstalling Zone Alarm and still get the time-out I get error code 80048820 and extended error code 80048439 (this is not listed under any of the help sections). It doesn't matter whether I use firefox or ie7. Any thoughts? I only get automated replies form Microsoft. Thanks.

From Googling your error code

Is your clock time correct?

It's possible that the MSN server is having problems.

Also try clearing out your temporary files and see if that helps.

I use CCleaner.

My clock is correct. I have used ccleaner and deleted both ie7 and firefox files and cookies. I think that I will switch to gmail. Hotmail is the only page that I can't access. Thanks.

Sorry, just reread your post

To access Hotmail using Mozilla Firefox, you need to use IE Tab. Right click on IE Tab(at bottom of the status bar), when you go to the Hotmail login page, then left click add, left click apply. Now double click on the orange world and make sure it switched to the blue e, then login.

I can't access hotmail from firefox or IE7. I can't get to the sign-in page to find the IE tab.

Does This Mean, In Effect, Hotmail Only

accepts IE or Mozilla pretending to be IE now ??? I've had a terrible time trying to access Hotmail via Sea Monkey (but ONLY in the last week)!! Before that never a problem. Hmmmm....... ?:| Have seen several other posts this week saying similar tales of woe! :-)

If it helps anyone...

I use Vista along with Firefox 3.0.3 w/IE Tab and have no problem accessing Hotmail. Access it by bookmark using the following link:

http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1217725480&rver=4.5.2130.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&id=64855

Just my offering and two bits! ;)
