It seems when I switch dial up connections some of the Hotmail problems
clear up which is a disturbing finding. When I switch back to my
previous dial-up number the Hotmail problem resurfaces. Shutting down
the connection to Earthlink start pages also seems to help.
It bothers me even more to hear IE users are more subject to the
problems that Opera and Firefox users. Again Hotmail support goes
silent and sends the usual form letter to upgrade everything on your
system. Meanwhile a free account I have with Yahoo purrs along. It
seems to me they should build a system that has backward compatibility
instead of something like IE that requires weekly fixes.
