Try doing this:
If you are using Windows XP:
Click Start -> Run and type *:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts (where * is the HD your windows is installed)
If you are using Windows 2K:
Click Start -> Run and type *:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts (where * is the HD your windows is installed)
If you are using Windows 98/ME:
Click Start -> Run and type *:\WINDOWS\hosts (where * is the HD your windows is installed)
Then select to open the file with notepad.
Search if there is any msn or hotmail related thing in there.
If there is delete and save

It has to do something with masters, slaves and primary HDs
Because I have my windows on drive E
