I like to keep things simple, I dont get involved with Outlook, Outlook Express, any of that stuff. I just use good old hotmail. It works fine for me 99% of the time but recently it has decided that about once every month it wants me to prove I'm not a machine or a spammer by typing in the sequence of letters and numbers it shows me. Fair enough.

Unfortunately, when I do this, it somehow doesn't seem to "see" it and asks me to type in another set of numbers and letters it has shown me. I do it, hit enter, again it doesn't "see" it, cue the next set of numbers and letters and so on ad infinitum.

Normally I just zip into work and log in on a pc there and theres no trouble, not ideal at 2.45 AM though. No reply on this as yet from MSN but to be honest, when I have had problems, their responses have been pretty standard and not much help.

At present I'm running Windows XP home with Zone Alarms Security suite. E mails seem to come and go ok, it's only a minor inconvenience but has anybody else experienced this or got any ideas as to what causes it?
