For the last 2 days after starting my windows 7, I go to check my hotmail account but it tries to open but then comes up program cloased due to problem. So I go to firefox to get into it via microsoft web site but that wont open either, I can only open it in its safe mode. Has anyone any ideas as to what is causing this and how to fix it. Thankyou.

Same thing with me, they want you transfer to outlook, well that worked for me. I also up-graded to IE10, it is relatively quick.

But why should Firefox have trouble as well?

I have no answer to your particular problem, however I will explain my set up.

My hotmail account was set up when it was still called MSN, they later renamed it Hotmail. However my e mail address still ends with @msn.

 

When I got this Windows 7 machine, I already knew that Outlook Express didn't work on it but the alternative was Windows Live Mail, so I set that up and that works, and I can as yet access my MSN account, which still receives e mail too.

 

Microsoft are of course continuously changing things, and I am convinced it is just so some top manager can justify his existence as there is little reason for the changes they increment.

 

For example, just because they bought Skype, they are now closing the old MSN messenger, which later became Windows Live Messenger, and integrating it with Skype. I like many others have been forced into something we maybe didn't want. Skype has its uses and I use it, but again Why fix something that ain't broke?

Microsoft seem not to have heard that one.
