I can open my hotmail account and get my inbox up but for the last couple of days I cannot open any of the e mails.

G mail is working but not hotmail!!

Any suggestions please?

Has anyone else got this problem?

Thanks in advance

Try using a different browser and see if that makes a difference. If it does then on your default browsers check any plug ins you have and any pop up blockers and try disabling them and see if that makes a difference.

The two main browser alternatives to IE would be google's chrome browser and mozilla's firefox. You can download them from here



http://www.google.com/chrome

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/



When you install either one it will at some point ask if you want to make it the default browser or not. Just say yes if you do want it to replace IE as the default browser on your system.

Oh, Erolz! Why didn't you mention the browser Safari (available for all platforms)...?! Fastest rendering browser in the world (Apple claim).

DutchCrusader I don't agree I'm just not into Safari, I find that Firefox has richer content is a lot faster has more plugins, and a lot easier to use, If in Windows I use Windows Internet Explorer 9, or Firefox, they work well for that platform, and I use Windows live mail for all my emails accounts (ie, Gmail, hotmail, and my isp email account, I never use Outlook in either Mac or Windows just not good enough.

Try deleting old history and cookies etc in Chrome and then see if the problem persists...
