Cannot open Hotmail

[LadyLexa]

Ok this is strange andI'm not sure how this happens but here goes...

I got an email in my hotmail account that when I click on to open flashes a black screen up really quickly (I managed to read the words 'remove' and 'disable') & makes my PC restart. Hotmail support is of no use (suprise surprise!) but I want to know what the heck is this thing?
My firewall shows no new or unusual connections & my virus scanner comes up clean.... anyone know what this is?

Ta!

It sounds like a scripting error to me. TheJava Virtual Machine in Windows is broken and full of bugs, so go to my best-of-breed free software page and download the real Java software straight from Sun.

Thanks for the help!

I changed to setting to get the 'blue screen (XP)' and got a message about IRQL not less or equal (whatever that means!). But everything seems to be ok, my main concern was that this was some sort of attempt to get into my system but after running virus scans, trojan scans, adaware etc etc and everything coming up clean, I think I'm ok!

Thanks a bunch!

Lisa, have you tried this: http://support.csilogan.com/novell/YaBB.pl?num=1227559810

Hi Lisa,

Have you tried this? http://support.csilogan.com/novell/YaBB.pl?num=1227559810 I had the same problem a year or so ago, and this fixed it for me. Note that this fix is for XP only, so if you have a different version of Windows, don't use it.

Good luck,
Sam
