Just had to reset IE 7 as it had slowed down for some reason.

Now works fine, but previously we had our 3 Hotmail email addresses
displayed in coloured boxes on our opening screen (http://login.live.com/ .
.. .). Click on the box, and you're through to your e-mail.

Now can't get more than one box, and can't remember how we did it the first
time!

Also, when 'sign out' button is pressed in Hotmail, it annoyingly goes to
http://uk.msn.com/?ocid=hmlogout which takes a long time to load. Can you
select the page to go to?

All suggestions gratefully received!

IE (& Windows) needs to be restarted once a day or so

If it does then theres something wrong with the way it was installed or
the machine.

I'll do that as soon as I go out there its at a remote comms site.

I use WIN2K here and thats often up for months at al time as it is at
some other sites. Windows well the post 9* and ME versions is quite
stable now, the earlier 95 and 98 were real dogs.

Often the operating system is blamed for hardware faults so I've found
over the years...
