Question Trouble using MSN and hotmail

I recently downloaded MSN 6.2 and got a hotmail account. I have recieved 3 e-mails in msn but when I click to view them I get this page:

I have tried the link to get the free hotmail account as this is all I need but It just keeps directing me in circles. Any help appreciated

Send a message via AIM to ZeratulsAvenger
Well I have somethign where it won't let me use MSN to open my e-mail anymore, but I just manually log in. www.hotmail.com and e-mail and password... lotta work but it does the job Now I get to use Firefox full time now anyways

EDIT: In case it wasnt gathered, my idea is to manually log on... It takes another 30 seconds to load an extra page and input the info... not to bad.

Have tried that

I have tried manually logging in. It still takes me to the same screen.

http://by21fd.bay21.hotmail.msn.com/...4e92cc3c29bee7

The screen has two options, one is to buy the full sub and the other is to get free e-mail. When I click on the free e-mail link I get back to the main screen to sign up to hotmail.

If I enter my login I get the first screen again. Is there a waiting period for my account to be activated. I have waited at least a week so far. You will notice that when you click the first link you are redirected to the second link. I have a screenshot of the first likn if there is someway to upload it.

I went to the hotmail site with Firefox. It opened right up. So I thought that rjf was right and went to IE to see what settings I could change to get into it. To my surprise it now opens in IE??? Not sure why but I have solved my problem by accident. Thanks to all who gave thier input.
