You might try going to Start | Program access and defaults and set OE as
default and see if that fixes it.

I have installed Beta2 of Internet Explorer on my machine and have come
across an issue with Outlook Express. I use Outlook Express as a fat
client
for my Hotmail account. After installing IE7 everytime I access my mail
in
Outlook Express or switch between folders (in Outlook Express) I am
prompted
for credentials. When I am prompted, I simply click OK becuase my
username
and password is correct on the auth window. I HAVE selected to remember
my
password in OE. I believe that this is an IE7 related issue becuase I
did
not have this problem before I installed the product.

Thanks in advance.

I have had the exact same problem, immediately upon instillation, have tried
re entering passwords etc but no luck.. New I should have tested this thing
first, silly me. ANYONE got any answers

Sorry - wrong group - try here

IE7 questions should be posted to the Internet Explorer General newsgroup as
below -

In your Newsreader:

If you need to use the Web Interface -

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.

The update has been available on Windows Update for months, but as an
optional update. You have to ask for it.
