Default ¿Any techies out there today?

A strange anomaly has occured with Rosemary´s computer, I wondered if anyone could help.
Switched on after lunch, internet homepage MSN UK locks up, powered off then back on sgain, tried changing default to MSN.com no problems. Have run ccleaner and avast but to no avail. My old laptop is not having any problems with MSNUK and we both run from the same modem. I use XP and Rosemary being rich has Vista.
Any ideas?

Try,

Start/All programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

Hopefully you'll just be able to select a date in the past & 'click'

Microsoft were having problems last week and hotmail wasn't working.

Go to microsoft page (live.com???) and see what message is displayed about the status of their services - maybe it's an issue with them.

My msn messenger did not work this morning but been fine since. I frequently get a message saying they have problems but normally it sorts itself by me just trying again or re booting.

Thanks everyone for trying. Because it was totally unuseable I went into control panel/internet options/ and took out msn and then clicked on predetermined user. This seems to have cured it.

I can`t understand why you have to "go in through MSN"
Do you use IE or Firefox ?
Just set all your favourites as tabs, then all you have to do is click on them to change from site to site.

Do not ask me, I only use the thing, he sets things up. I will get him to think about it tomorrow, that is if his brain is working at all.

Yes that's correct, a friend couldn't use her hotmail at all, mine was just acting a little strange...but it's OK now!
