Exactly... free to read.. free to answer.

Hate to tell you this Boo, but it's not the browser she's running that's the issue here. It's something with either her connection or Microsoft's connection. Might even be a firewall. I have the same issue with both Opera and Firefox. I only run IE at school but it doesn't matter as they block Hotmail here.

Likely Microsoft's server problem.

I use Hotmail all the time.. sometimes it works.. sometimes it doesn't.

My biggest problem is MSN groups. Also mega mega server problems. I have a mommies message board there that I have ran for over a year and the problems drive me NUTS! (sorry.. a bit off topic there)

I like your suggestion on the Gmail. Does it work like hotmail?

[Young_Freebie]

I find it works better the Hotmail. But, it is up to you.

As for the replies to my question, me thinks I knew that and I just found it odd.

Nope its not us (Rogers)!

Sounds like Rogers then! I'm glad there's another Londoner in here! lol

[Nat]

Thanks everyone for the help and tips! I appreciate any computer help i can get and learning new things! My hotmail is better (magically)... but probably only for now..;. I am considering downloading firefox.

Lol. A couple other people have mentioned having a similar problem and they are also with Rogers. YAY! I didn't screw up.. it's not my fault this time . lol

My post will be up and running by Saterday latest. If anyone wishes to add to the list, I will test it before adding it!

In this way, I will have feedback on some new programs as well as the ones I already use!
