Which version of Windows Live Mail(click on Help/About)

If the Hotmail server is not having problems..the usual suggestions

Close WLM
Ensure pc date and time are correct
Delete all live, hotmail, and msn.com cookies
If present disable third party firewall, enable Windows Firewall
Open WLM
Remove the account in WLM
Recreate new with your full username and domain(e.g. Joh...@hotmail.com). If your account is a live.com or msn.com use that
domain instead of hotmail.com), ensure the correct password is entered and the box checked to remember the pw.
Retest

Thank you Winston. I have been having this problem with Windows Live Mail and
AIM. Neither would sign in. I would have never thought to check the date
(since my time was right), and sure enough the calendar had been set back 3
years for some reason. As soon as I fixed the date, both signed in with no
problem.

Keep an eye on it..it might be the battery on the mobo.

Go to control panel , Click on internet options, Click on the connections
tab, Click on "Lan Settings" Make sure Proxy server settings" box doesn't
have a check on it, then restart Windows live mail

Hope this can help
