Windows Live AFAIK, doesn't work on Win 9x systems - so you should continue
to use Hotmail..... one complicating factor is that Hotmail also withdrew
support for Outlook Express access to the free accounts some time ago, so
this may be the effect that you are now seeing on the home machine.

If not - post back, or to Hotmail groups, for more assistance.

Has anyone any experience of hotmail upgrading to 'windows live' mail.

My daughter has been on a world tour during which her hotmail account,
automatically, (according to her) upgraded to 'Windows live'.

On her return home the account refuses to work on our humble Win ME
machine.
WE rae wondering how we can make it work again.

Thanks for any help
