anyone else got major probs with hotmail?
this morning I installed (upon a prompt) an adobe (flash I think) update, same one that’s been popping up for months to be honest, only on the rare occasion I restart the pc.
since then i’ve had major probs with hotmail and ebay, ebay not so bad but hotmail totally inoperable – other than sign out, I’ve re-installed the latest flash, and java (does anything use java now?) but it’s still the same, so was wondering if it’s just me or if it’s across the board?
I can check boxes but not open or delete emails, canot check other folders etc.
cheers,
Hugh -

I know recently that there was some malware masquerading as a Flash updater / installer. Maybe you have accidentally installed this instead of the real Flash installer.
Can’t help if you have, but someone else may be able to. -
i’m sure it was genuine, it’s been there soo long – I just kept ignoring it.
will run the malware thing just in case.

no malware, just the usual trackers,
something in settings I guess 🙁

What about updating your browser Hugh? Of maybe try swopping Firefox for Internet explorer or vice versa?

internet explorer way tooo slow!
I found the issue, firefox has it’s own flash player, when I updated the adobe one it conflicted, I uninstalled the adobe flash and it’s all good now 🙂
firefox is up to date btw (as far as poss on XP pro!

Takes some getting used too, but chrome does to all browsers what Firefox did to IE 5-7 years ago! 😉
