MS has decided to resurrect the old "browser wars." The battle began heaviest in July.
If you are using Firefox - you may have problems with Hot Mail....unless you use IE first and then OE.
HotMail is owned by MS and uses ActiveX - ActiveX is property of MS.
Interesting on the 30 day HotMail...no wonder my account died.
Why must you use HotMail...how about Juno or Google Mail...or any of two dozen others?
Sorry about your cousin's child. May I suggest they setup ONE PAGE were family and friends can go to view information and post messages. For examply http://www.rossmunnerlyn.com
