    [​IMG] Okay, well this section seemed the best place to post this so...

    Everytime I log into Hotmail it tells me to 'match the characters' that I see in the box so that they know I'm not some freaky spamming computer or something. So I type them out, click the button to continue, and then it logs me straight out, I never even get the chance to see my inbox! :(

    Can anyone help?

    Try a different mail service like gmail or ozemail (if you live in aus that is, not sure if you do) or others. Also, have you tried it on a different PC? it could just be an error on that one machine.

    Also any pop-up blockers that you have should be switched off, I have that problem but when they're switched off it works fine. :)

    And cookies too, don't forget to allow Hotmail write some of them. Set to medium the level of security in IE.

    And if you have upgraded to Firefox, just allow cookies until the session ends (you close the browser).

    A hahaha...I forgot about this thread...I've never posted in this section before...-_-"

    *ahem* Yes...I didn't understand any of that...except for the easy stuff like pop-ups... :hahaerr: Anyway, thankyou all for the help. I contacted the hotmail people and they sent me a long e-mail telling me to do something about changing the browers settings etc etc etc and it was really long and complicated so I think I'll just wait and tell my brother to fix it for me instead. ;) In the meantime, I'll get g-mail.

    @TrueBlueAussie
    Is ozemail any good? None of my friends have it...the only person I know who has it is my teacher...( -_-" Had to send her drafts druing the holidays of my major work...)
