I also haven't been able to log into my Hotmail account. On Friday, I signed up for a Paypal account. Before I could do so, I had to do the Windows update to get my Cipher strength up from 56-bit to 128-bit. This was the first time I had updated Windows in a long time. On Saturday, I downloaded and installed an automatic update for Windows. After it was done, I restarted my computer. Since then, I haven't been able to log into my Hotmail or Ebay accounts, and I think I may be having the same sort of problem that you had, Raw Shok Test. However, I tried to change my cookies settings, and nothing has worked. I'm going to try to have my brother log into my account to see if it'll work on another computer. If you have any other suggestions, I would appreciate any help.
