Why can't I open Hotmail nor MSN messenger?

I'm currently having trouble opening hotmail. Everytime I visit the main page, I get redirected to this strange programming error. Also, when I attempt to log in on my MSN it gives me an error code 80048862.


Apparently the error is just in my computer and I was able to log on normally in someone else's laptop over the weekend.





Is there a solution for this hotmail glitch?

The problem is your firewall, or the current internet browser you are using.


download mozilla firefox which is a pop-up free internet explorer.

If it is not this it is your firewall, so whatever firewall you are using you must have the high security mode on just drag it down to normal.


If you cant do this, disable your firewall while you logon hotmail.
