I'm using Windows XP Professional, IE 6. When using Hotmail, I can't open any links within the emails. Help!

There have been a lot of different problems being reported about Hotmail lately, I had the one you're referring to myself last week. I think it's because Hotmail is busy upgrading their service. It should resolve itself in a few days; till then, you can copy the link and paste it into your browser.

I hope you're right. This has been getting increasing worse for several wks until 3 days ago when I was/am unable to open any links in Hotmail email. I think there is something wrong with my computer.

time to look for google mail ,still in bata but you get 100mgs storage space and It seems to work ok for me .

Thanks, I might do that. I'm giving Hotmail support a wk to get back to me then I will find another email program. Problem is I've had this address for yrs!

Yeah I know what you mean I have a hotmail acct that goes back to 1997,but it works just fine i think .don't use it much except to but in where a email address is needed .

I have a gmail account myself and works very well. A couple of glitches but nothing big. And actually the storage limit is 1GB not 100MB, and its free !!!

:lol: Ok, just wanted to report why it was that I couldn't open links in my hotmail. After the 3rd Sony tech, we figured out it was my virus protection program. After I uninstalled Norton all my hotmail email links opened right up! So I am using MacAfee now with no problem. Thanks for your support. Sandy :lol:

Did you happen to find out why/how Norton was keeping you from opening links in Hotmail?

I was told it was Norton's firewall.
