Hi guys

Can you give me any ideas on how to solve the following problem , Hopefully I do not need to reinstall NT

You can browse the internet fine no problems when you try to logon to
Hotmail you get an error message and will not let you logon. You can log on
from any other machine no problem.
If you log on the the computer as Local Admin it works fine but as yourself
it dont work !!
If you log in as yourself on anyother machine it works fine?

Operation System = NT 4
Browser = IE 5.5

I appreciate all your help in advance

Cheers

Question, is this an individual machine? If so, have you created an acount for yourself using User Manager? (logged in as local admin) Also are you part of a Domain and if so does the sys admin have an account set up for you? I hope this helps.

What is the error message?
Ask your admin to grant you access to the https protocol in your WWWProxy permissions list.
If you are using MS Proxy, one way around this is to disable the PROXY in IE5 (Tools, Advanced, Connection page) and use onlythe Winsocks Client (make sure is isntalled and your administrator had created an account for your login and granted the access to http and https protocols). I found that sometimes using WWWProxy in IE5 causes problems with HTTPS protocol.

Radu
