I know someone that had a "non valid" copy of XP Pro and installed IE7,
Hotmail would then not work. It kept asking for the password. They
searched and found the update file "WindowsXP-KB904942-v2-x86-ENU.exe"
and ran it. Now Hotmail works fine. Sorry I don't know the link to it.
But it is out there. I was told it is part of the updates you get if
you [could] run windows update, but not being valid they could not get
it the normal way.

They had tried everything, but this worked. If MS thinks you have a
"bootleg" copy of XP (for some reason) you can get the file some place
other than MS, and run just this one file.
