hi all
I have recently bought a laptop running windows xp home edition
I am having trouble signing in to hotmail and also MSN Messenger
each time it refers to my firewall settings even tho my windows firewall ISNT on!
I thought it might have been nortons, although MSN Messenger is on the exceptions list
and even when i disable it for 15 mins it still doesnt work
Windows messenger works fine, although strangely
it signs me out when the screen saver comes on
when im online it often tells people i am offline even when I am still talking to them
on other occasions it says I am offline and they cant send me a msg, even tho I am still online!
then as soon as I send them a msg it says I'm online again!
its all very strange!
ANY help would be MUCH appreciated as I am in the UK trying to keep in contact with friends/family in NZ!
Thanks so much!
Sel
