Hotmail sign in problems Windows 8.1
I've been having a discussion by email with Hotmail support about the problem, see my original email...
- "I have two machines with Windows 8.1 and since both machines, I have always had intermittent problems accessing my Hotmail account. What happens is I get my address and password and sign in either fails to connect or seems to go in half way through the process and then freeze. This seems to happen for days at a time, and then other days, it works perfectly. Another machine, I am running Windows 7 owner is not completely affected as is my fire HD Kindle. All the machines access the internet through the same ISP. I've had this account for more than 10 years and do not want to change if possible. Your thoughts/solution would be greatly appreciated. "Cordially Robert Bacon.
They have subsequently, after various tests decided that the problem is probably with Windows 8. The thread is available in the object reference
1258869986. Moreover, I found that I don't have a problem if I access the account by a VPN (I'm not always). The same problem also happens on my wife's Hotmail account.
Your ideas, thoughts would be appreciated.
Robert Bacon
Hi Robert,.
The essence of the question lies in the expression that it is an "intermittent" problem and does not occur if you go through a VPN but otherwise. He spreads the possibilities of base which may be causing the problem. Thus, the security of the system has a vital role to play in this situation. Since then, the issue is not resolved by disabling the security software, Windows Firewall could be the next possibility.
So, I suggest, temporarily, disable the Windows Firewall and check if the problem persists.
Refer to the following steps:
- Press the Windows key + R, type firewall.cpl , and press ENTER.
- Click turn Windows Firewall on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- Click turn off (not recommended) Windows Firewall under each network location that you want to stop trying to protect, and then click OK.
Caution:
You should not turn off Windows Firewall unless you have another firewall is enabled. Turning off Windows Firewall may make your computer (and your network, if you have one) more vulnerable to damage caused by worms or hackers. You must reactivate as soon as you have completed troubleshooting.
Please post back your results for assistance.

Hotmail issue - a problem when deleting the Junk email and send to delete folder
I get a lot of those Nigerian e-mails 911 lately and they are in my junk e-mail folder. I never open these emails, 'Check all' delete mailboxes and sending them to the folder to delete.
In the past two weeks, what I noticed is that somewhere in transit between the junk in the suppression file folder, these suspicious emails end in the folder delete UNBOLDED; they are regular font type. Other ones I deleted at the same time, I know are not suspects, are characters fat as it should.
How an email that I didn't open end upwards in the folder to remove the? (as it is opened in transit to the folder to be deleted). It started only recently and I'm a little worried. It's as if it opens on the path to the folder to delete. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
Can someone tell me if my account could possibly be compromised in some way? Is it a problem that I should be concerned?
(I apologize if this is the wrong place for this post, but I had zero luck trying to ask a question on my hotmail account).
Thank you very much.

I have a new HP computer and I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running). When you try to open an attachment, the bar downstairs quickly moves to the right, but never appears a dialog box asking if you want to open or save the file. Error message I get when I try to resolve it with the suggested steps indicates "module"wintrust.dll"was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. I tried to do the same command prompt, but still not received the same error. Thanks for help anything.
Hi Paul,.
Have you tried to download an attachment after you turn off your antivirus?I had a problem in the past where the system was performed at Trend Micro Internet Security and Web content filtering (I think that's what it was called) was preventing attachments from download.I would like to know what are your results!Cody C

What is picassoaddin - opportunity, that I sign in the windows media center, I receive one doesn't sstart message for picassoaddin?
It turns out that the problem could be due to some pre-installed software. The Picasso snap steals the focus from Media Center at the session of the Extender is launched and so instead of the remote control Media Center, he tries to control Picasso (which is not visible). So by pressing the green button should bring Media Center at the forefront and work around the problem.
A more permanent solution is to remove the Picasso-> General-> program library Options-> edit program library and uncheck Picasso and the snap-snap front. Then restart the session of the Extender.

-I can connect to windows live messenger on another computer

You can join support Messenger - Windows Live space (http://messenger-support.spaces.live.com)
OR Windows Live Help (http://windowslivehelp.com/community)
It is possible that you have corrupted cache files; You can try to delete the cache folder and check if that helps. You can also temporarily disable your firewall and check if all of the parameters of the firewall is a cause. Better support for the effort, I'd say uninstall you the current Windows live Messenger and install the latest version (http://download.live.com/messenger)
Let me know if it worked.
Hope it will be useful.
Kind regards
