  • Windows 8/Hotmail loading forever

    I'm staying with my grandma (she's elderly and diabetic) for a few days while my brother went on a vacation.

    Anyway, I get on their computer, a Windows 8, with only IE as a web browser (yuk).


    So I try to log into my email (msn Hotmail) and one of two things happens:

    1) The screen is blank and loading forever, with the text in the tab switching between things like "mail.live.com" and "login.live.com" constantly.

    2) My password is stated to be incorrect, which I know it ISN'T.

    What's going on?


    Oh, and also, I tried downloading Chrome, but it would not connect to the internet here. It keeps saying that the page, ANY PAGE, in fact, is unsafe.

    Open Internet Options (either via the menu in IE or Control Panel. Control Panel is easily accessible by right-clicking the Start flag) and click the Security Tab. If the button labeled "Reset all zones to default level" is enabled, click it. Now try again.

    If that didn't work, open Internet Options again. Click Connections, then LAN Settings. Clear all checkboxes. Now try again.

    And if that doesn't work grab a portable version of Firefox or ye olde Opera 12 (oldversion.com) and install in portable/usb mode.

      Accidental double post. Speaking of Windows 8 being stupid...or is it just the user this morning? I'm going to go with it being me because I haven't had any coffee yet...
      Still could be the OS - did you accidentally disable Java?
