Default Hotmail & Outlook Express problem....again ?

Thanks PA Bear, but how could I be running IE7 if
I didn't
install it. and when I click on the IE Help it
says IE 6?
I went in to explorer and checked the dates for
the IE
program files, nothing there for recent dates.

Would it be okay to use this patch even though I
don't
seem to have IE7?

1. CrystalBallİ tells me that you're running IE7,
so close OE and install
this patch:

Authentication fails when you use Outlook or
Outlook Express to try to log
on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet
Explorer version 7.0:

2. MSN/Hotmail servers have been acting up all
week. See

I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'm not
getting
much help from Microsoft. Just canned letters
that
don't address the problem. I've done some quick
checks with my ISP (Road Runner) and it shows
that they have been able to "connect" to hotmail
both inbound and outbound. I keep getting the
same error msg.
What do them mean "Authorization Required" ?
Is that from Microsoft or from my ISP ?
Oh, Hotmail was down for awhile today too, they
said it was too many people or something like
that.
