Cannot open hotmail.com
I opened up my hotmail account this morning and it all worked as it should. I read my emails and deleted the ones I didn't want to keep. When I next opened hotmail again, the site kept on trying to open but just seems to go round in a circle.
I noticed a padlock symbol next to the address bar which I hadn't seen before and this seems to be stopping hotmail from opening. I would appreciate any adivice on how to remove the padlock or what settings I need. I haven't changed any security settings and I even did a system restore to yesterdays date to no avail. Everything else works OK. Thanks James |

The padlock symbol shows it's a secure site, nothing to worry about.
Are you trying to access from home or work? Place I work at has recently blocked Hotmail. |

Thats odd then.
Have you changed any security settings? Might be worth dropping it down to medium, if it's set on high. |

I have checked and all settings on medium. What I don't understand is that hotmail opened up ok and then the next time I opened up this padlocked symbol had appeared.

Delete cookies, history and cache. Then type in address to hotmail home page. Do not use a bookmark or popup previous address. Then login in the normal way and see how that works. If OK then bookmark and throw away the original. Hope this helps |
