Any techies out there?
For a couple of days now, I cannot compose a new message in Hotmail or reply/forward an existing message. Yesterday, I sent an email to Outlook tech support (supposedly you receive a reply within 24 hrs.)....no reply yet.
Then today while on Amazon, I was unable to open a book ("Look Inside") to preview it. We have IE, Windows 7. Never had this problem before. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Appreciate your help!! |
Not a techie, but have you tried to close everything and restart your computer? That was the first thing I used to try.
I had a lot of difficulties with IE. My husband had me download Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en and I have used that without problems for a long time. I have both options in my menu; I just click on the Google chrome icon to roam the net. |

Microsoft has announced a major bug with Internet Explorer. Recommend using another browser while they 'fix' it.

In Firefox, I also downloaded Adblock Plus to eliminate ads. HUGE difference! I will never go back to IE. |
I wish I was a techie!!!! If I was, I wouldn't be pulling my hair out over doing an upgrade for Quicken!!!!!!!!!!

While using Google Chrome this morning, all these problems are resolved. THANK YOU everyone!

I have Windows 7 on my computer. I use Outlook 2010. I had a lot of problems and contacted Microsoft. They stated that they have a lot of Outlook working well with Windows 7. Tried the fixes they told me and did not fix problem.
|
There was a major security breach with Explorer and a virus. It is recommended you stop using IE until it is fixed. Go to another web browser such as Firefox or Chrome.

I am NOW using Firefox. Since I am still on XP, I made the final jump when I heard this latest news regarding IE. Google collects too much info and I like Firefox since it is VERY similar to IE.

Glad you mentioned this. The IE problem may or may not be part of your problem. Switch to a Chrome or Firefox browser and see if hotmail works or not.
