I can log in, see what e-mails I have to read, but when I click on them literally nothing happens. In fact the only button that works is sign out lol - no yellow square with progress in bottom left like normal.

No need to tell me hotmail is rubbish or tell me to join another e-mail provider, as yahoo or gmail would not be able to open inportant e-mails that already exist on my hotmail would it lol

I seriously think microsoft should have a proper email contact system as well. Or do they? Yet again google does not provide any suitable info....
 
Looks like nobody else gets this issue lol (always me!)

I found that I have to use internet explorer 7 to open e-mails. So the 2012 software does not work, but 2006 software does.

Proof that software goes backwards not forwards. Updates will never take place on my laptop again! :club:
 
Have you tried opening it in Incognito mode?

My husband was having this problem on his computer with all browsers. I figured it out and it turned out that the problem was because hotmail wasn't going to the https: site, but regular http: which made it not work. So, maybe that's what's going on with you, too. Try adding the 's' to the 'http' and see if that helps.
If not, then I have no idea. :p

Thanks incognito mode did work because it disables extensions. That gave me an idea to test the ones I use. Turned out to be 'collision for chrome' which tracks the tracking websites (geek tools lol) this app was blocking hotmail from doing anything it seems.

I just got rid of it, tested, works fine again :p Thanks for nudging my brain :cool:

Google wants you to use Gmail...it's evil like that :D

Yeah they are evil :p
 
I had an issue like this ages ago. I had to start using HTTPS rather then HTTP (Option in Hotmail) Worked fine since lol.
