I'm setting up a Windows Live domain and want to test some settings. To do this I want to set up a Hotmail account but every time I try to do this I keep getting this message.

There's a temporary problem

There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later.

I first tried this before 12pm today and several times since and every time I get this message.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Well, if Windows Live/Hotmail is giving that message, then theres a problem at their end, not much anyone else could do....
As it says, "try again later"

Update : in saying that, it worked fien for me, just created a new account, took 30s.

Maybe try from another conneciton if you can

Thanks,

I'll give it another try. I was wondering if it was my browser, however I've tried two different browsers. I'll let you know how i get on.

Try a different browser, probably IE.

I'm trying to avoid IE like the plague? :(

Finally got a Hotmail account to setup. Still not sure what was going on. Wouldn't work with IE either.
