I had made those changes in the Options, Privacy, Sites for Hotmail.com,
Live.com, Passport.com, MSN.com a few days ago as I had read that suggestion
on the boards.
These are old (several years) Hotmail accounts that had been no problem
until I installed IE7.
Really not getting any 'error messages' just the box that requests my
password for that one Hotmail account. The password is there in the form of
black dots.... so I click on OK and it proceeds to download the mail.
Also I have tried shutting of my NAV Email scanning and that seems to help.
Are you sure that all attachments & e-mails are scanned even though that is
turned off?
Thanks again.

Please post any error messages in their entirety.
IE Tools Internet Options Privacy Sites type in
hotmail.com (and)
live.com
then Allow cookies for each domain, in turn.
If you weren't accessing the account in OE *without* using Hotmail Popper,
you may be out of luck now.

PA Bear,
Thank you for your fast response. I am indeed running IE7, XPHome, SP2. I
downloaded and installed WindowsXP-KB904942-v2-x86-ENU.exe but am still
getting the request for password box for one of these Hotmail accounts.
Any
other suggestions? Much appreciated.

I need some help. Have been using Hotmail Popper for years to download 2
hotmail accounts into OE6 for some time. Suddenly I am prompted for my
password for one of these accounts. When I enter the password I can
download
my mail, no problem. Have read instructions for editing the registry to
correct similiar situations but find them kind of scary. Is there
another
way to fix this? Would establishing a Restore Point before editing the
registry establish a backup to the registry?
Thanks so much for your advise.
