Make certain your Time, Date and Time Zone settings are correct.

If you installed 810847 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=810847), you
will need 813951 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=813951). If either of
these are installed, the numbers will show in IE Help>About>Update Versions.

IE Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Edit> type in the following domain...

hotmail.com

...and ALLOW ALL COOKIES.

Logon with Current Username and Password.

Other Hotmail users have witnessed the same problem and AFAIK it may be
related to the as yet unfixed bug in 810847.

...And sometimes these mysterious Hotmail problems simply clear up overnight
with no user intervention.
