You could use Yahoo! Mail instead. I think they even give you a bigger mail box.

I use the email that my ISP gave me with Outlook Express 6. I wanted to upgrade to Mozilla Thunderbird but my dad forgot to write down the email password.

I don't think changing to Yahoo will help Ace read existing mail sent to his Hotmail address.

every time i install a MSN update the comp goes banannas

Ace. I can't help wondering why you updated MSN if it caused problems before. Also, why you configured it to display in Spanish. You could try going back to the previous version of MSN that worked. If all else fails use the Restore feature to go back to a date when it last worked..

The problem here isnt with your computer or your version of MSN..... It looks like a server problem with hotmail.
Pages loading with errors and bits missing are usually caused by
A. your computers Cache memory being full (you do regular restarts so that aint it) or
B. The server you're trying to connect to being retarded.
It could be that having it in spanish is causing the problem the spanish language server could be playing up .. try reverting back to english.

well, i think my pc has a mind of its own, it runs fine u know and i tried to avoid instaling the update for MSN but these guys are clever. u see... im in a band, and i write half the stuff we play, we cannot see eachother or jam every day so what we do is thru msn we activate the mic and show eachother licks and stuff, so when we jam we dont waste time. ii also see my family back in Colombia regularly using the webcam. after the MSN update came out and i refused to install it wouldnt let me run either mic or web cam conections. usually MSN becomes stable after a week or so, so mine's stable....within normal running parameters now. for the second question...why my hotmail is in spanish... well spanish is my first language and ive had this address for ever, seriously...i activated this account when i was like 13

Have your dad contact your ISP.  Chances are they'll be able to help.

Mozilla is a thousand times better than OE, and a trillion times better than Yahoo! or Hotmail.  (And equally as free!)
