hotmail problems
- Thread starter Thermo
- Start date
Running ok with Outlook Express, alongside Bt mail ..... Some messages take longer than others .. but then tis free !! Keep it just in case, best to have two providers .. otherwise could have a contact problem in the event of either 'going down' .. which they haven't in several years of use !!
I am having problems with hotmail when I try to forward attachments, Its happened since they bought in the new virus scan. The only way I can get PC working again is by a hard reset. I have reported this to MSN & only today have I had another email from there support team.
I should look or ask which type of files are being weeded out .. like .exe or .zip etc
Not used up all your file space ? I do not know the limit on hotmail, not high, or has that changed ?
It could be that your attachments fit a certain profile ... You have no security software like firewall or AV which is causing probs have you ?
Have you tried another freeby provider ? That is worth a shot .. how about your ISP ? provides free mail ?
Have a look here, I have no knowledge of this but may be useful :-

There has been a recent update from M$ reference vulnerability in opening .Jp(e)g files.

Not saying you have a problem, rather they may have, with respect to jpg files following the admission of a vulnerability .. they may be over cautious.
Have you tried zipping the files to send ? You can, with most file compressors like Winzip, create a self extractor, which can be opened on a system without Winzip itself ... you probably know this stuff any way, chucked it in, just in case.

Yes and do you get a "Don't Send Error Messsage" as well ? I'm thinking it's to do with the virus on the harddrive.Thermo said:
