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?
Are any cookies being blocked from being saved to the pc? Or it could be that the cookie is being set but after 1 month it is being cleared.
Have you checked the settings in Zone alarm to make sure that cookies aren't being blocked or deleted for the various addresses that you need to traverse to get to your hotmail account?
