I have a win 98, IE 5.5 IBM PC. I am able to browse ALL the web sites EXCEPT http://www.hotmail.com. The moment I log on to this site giving my username and password, I geta prompt "This page cannot be opened" message. Whereas ALL other web pages open normally. Because of this I am not able to use my hotmail accounts or msn chat on that PARTICULAR computer.

Hotmail are currently having problems.
It can take me anything from 2 to 10 minutes to login.
All I can say is try refresh and be patient.
Hope it improves for you.

Are you doing this from your job? Some companies (mine is one of them) are setting up the routers to block online e-mail services in order to reduce the possibility of viruses getting to the companies servers.
