hello,

ever since i updated to the newest version of explorer (the one with the new layout and tabs)

everytime i log into hotmail or change pages in hotmail, the page freezes for at least 10 seconds,

anybody else experiencing this?

there's this phishing filter that runs now, i never noticed this before so i presume it's a new feature, could this be the cause?? but every other site seems to be ok except hotmail.

any ideas why?

There's a Hotfix for IE7 Hotmail problems. I'll see if I can find a link.

Have a read of the forum charter http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47980

No Off-Topic Advocacy: When someone asks a question about their current browser/mailer/etc, either answer the question or don't post. If they want an alternative, they'll ask for it.

You could try opera or firefox to rule out problems with DNS or ISP, but if the problem only happens with internet explorer then a patch for it may be needed, but with IE weirdness emptying the cache and restarting is always worth a try.

nipplenuts - is it this one ?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904942 Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to log on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet Explorer version 7.0
Install this update to resolve HTTP authentication issues in Windows-based systems that do not appear until Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 is installed.

no i dont use outlook, just when logging into hotmail in the browser this happens,

ive been googling it there now, it may be something to do with msn messanger as i recently upgraded to the newer version of that too which seems the exact same exept takes longer to startup :rolleyes:

i might try and uninstall msn messanger and get back an earlier version or something if this keeps happening
