Hotmail not loading

[inventeredison1]

I have a problem with using hotmail lately. My computer doesn't allow me to load hotmail. I tried with IE, Firefox, and google chrome, and none of them work. Is it my computer's problem? I tried with other computers and they all work fine. Only on my computer, hotmail cannot load. I could sign in and see that there are new messages, but I could not read the mails. After I click the mail, it would load forever. How to make hotmail work?

Is javascript enabled?

Hotmail uses javascript

[inventeredison1]

Yes, javascript is enabled.

Perhaps your internet connection slows down to much for it? Did you switch to the "light" version of hotmail and see if that works?

What is the "light" version?

[blackrose]

Light version means the older version of hotmail. There was an Option in hotmail to switch back to older version but I am unware of this recently.

Maybe a spyware added hotmail.com in your HOSTS file?

Go to Start > Run and type the command line below and click OK.
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\

You should see a file called HOSTS. Open it with notepad and let us know what you see in there.

This is what I got in the Hosts:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

Now, it is working. Thank you for helping! I don't know why now it works, but it works. I did nothing to fix it. I just tried to sign in and check my mail and it works now. Thank you all for your effort to help me solve my problem!
