Amazing, as I did try to refresh the page (what is the difference by pressing Ctrl?) and even opened hotmail with another web browser, Mozilla, all to no avail.
Ohh hope that darn website didnt do anything dangerous to my computer and MSN. I dont even dare to sign in to MSN anymore.
But thanks people!!
I believe its a common occurance, because of the nature of the AJAX programming of Windows Live Hotmail. You see, if one part doesn't load, the rest of it doesn't seem to work properly. It's quite complex!
#1 Do you have a slow connection? Cause if you do, don't even bother with the Full Version, try classic. (Slow referrs to a dial up modem)
#2 I also reccomend clearing your cache.
If you are using firefox, Hit Tools, then "clear private data" and tick all the boxies.
As for IE, if you're running IE7 press tools, then the first option. Click all the boxes.
#3 Next, check your hotmail again. How is it now?
In regards to this website, no you shouldn't have typed it in, but too late now eh?
#4 Did you change your password yet? If not, when you do, make it complex, use lots of numbers and Capital, and lowercase letters, just in case.
Your WLM case seems a bit weird, do you know if that website downloaded any software? It may have also integrated in your WLM Software.
#5 Get the latest WLM @
http://get.live.com, install it.
#6 Before logging in, make sure you have a copy of Spybot S&D, if you don't know what it is, google it, its one of the best free ones out there.
Once it's installed, run a full scan. Delete any of the RED objects that also appear.
#7 Next, restart your computer (just to be sure).
Now, try logging into your WLM, and changing something. Technically, it should be fine now.
Let me know how you go with that.
