Default Having trouble connecting to Hotmail?

Add your comments here! Maybe someone at MS will see them and actually DO
something.

Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate 32 bit........

I have a paid hotmail account that I have been happily using for 2 years
now. I always check it via outlook (2003 and 2007). In 2007, for about the
past 45 days, I would get intermittent dialog boxes asking me to confirm my
password.

I would, and I would select remember this password and things would
continue - until about 3 days ago. Then the dialog boxes would not go away
in Outlook 2007. It constantly asked me for my password and would not
connect to my hotmail account.

I logged in to my hotmail account via the web to make sure I was using the
right password - all worked as it should in the web interface.

I can still log on via 2003 and the web just fine.

If people want to waste their time, they are certainly welcome to do so. However, these are peer-to-peer forums and are not monitored by Microsoft.

If you want to contact Microsoft directly, open a support incident (free during the first 90 days of purchase) for Outlook 2007.

Actually, acc'd to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...2&gprid=422192,
it's free for the 90 days following your first support request, not from
date of purchase.

The bottom line remains, contact Microsoft, open a support incident, and have it escalated from there. This forum is not the place for an online petition.

Re-creating my local profile on my PC solved the problem...or logging
on as a diffrerent user. Would rather have a real fix though, but I
suspect a bad registry key somewhere.
