Can anybody help me? I feel so stupid, but uh, well, I created a hotmail account just now(freakyfairy88), and uh, well something is screwed up. I am really hoping it's the computer and not me. I can't find my mailbox, but I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place. When I sign in it takes me to this thing where I can either pay like $20 and get all these extra features or I can just use the free thing. It is part of the sign-up and I click on the free one and it brings me back to the sign in page. I have made sure that all cookies are allowed, blah, blah, blah, but I have been working w/ this thing for nearly half an hour and am getting nowhere. Does anybody know what to do?

Check Your system (computer's) date and time - wrong time could cause the cookie to expire immediately.
Next You could try with different browser:

How long have you had that account for?
Because tghat happened exactly to me, if you have not been in your hotmail account for a month they go inactive and you have make it active agian...

I use to use Hotmail until I nabbed an awsome Gmail account...anyway...I believe that happened to me once. Clear your cache, cookies, and history & if it continues, go with Fremon's idea. Internet Explorer has gaping security holes.

Internet Explorer has a virus going around. So warning to anyone who uses it you may want to change if you want to. If you have a Mac I would suggest Safari. For PCs I think you guys can use Netscape.

I hate Netscape with a passion,
We have it at school drives me up the wall. Lucky we have a choice of Netscape and Explorer, or just use them both, but all well. I would rather take the dangourous road and protect my computer from the virius.

You guys are really helpful. I'm still kinda confused, but I'm gonna go try some of that stuff right now. :)
