Hotmail Problem

[sadio8]

Hey guys I just got a problem here and well I need your help! Whenever I try to check my email( hotmail) or anyone's email that is a hotmail account, about 9/10 times my browser will just freeze for no apparent reason. Like this occurs only when i check email if i got a hotmail account. If i check email thats from liek yahoo or gmail the page/browser never freezes, only for hotmail. Sometimes it freezes sometimes it does not but most of the time it does. Is there any reason as to why my browswer would freeze when i try to check my email( hotmail account)?

nothing particular is jumping out at me that would cause this problem, are you running IE or Firefox / Netscape etc.?

Currently running the latest version of IE.

Its a conflict between MSN messanger and IE . Related to DCOM. There are a few workarounds, such as disabling DCOM or ActiveX, but neither of these is recommended. Best bet, Download Firefox Mozilla and just use it to check hotmail. Or if you don't use MSN messanger uninstall it.
