First of all welcome to CH pasta .
OK now i think this is the problem you may be experiencing,firstly you go to your Hotmail Id but it wont let you login and prompts you to go to hotmail site, It tells you to enable cookies , now here is what you need to do.
1) Go to your Internet Explorer Properties .
2)Put all the settings on default.
3)Click ok and apply .
and then go back again and try to login and see what happens.
Enable windows updates from the Start menu, this could also help.
P.S. hopefully you are using Internet Explorer for your browser , if not let us know.
