When you install ie7 I believe t recycles your ie6 cache.  That might be causing the error so removing your temporary internet files and trying again might solve the problem.

well I know others who have reporeted the problem, and I tried deleting cookies and temp internet files - still does not work, so its now off my system.
In my opinion, while functionality is improved, if the browser cannot even open hotmail.com then it isnt fit to be called a beta version.
Howard_Casto:
Well like I said, it DOES open hotmail, so it must be something that your system has on it that is interacting with the hotmail website.  Remember, ie also has an option or 3 java engines and a few other external plugins that it has no control over.  A bad combination of them could be causing the issues, thus making it hard to detect on their end. 

The reason it is beta is for that very reason, to resolve compatability issues. 


And remember above where I said that I got with m$ because it's stuff is the best 75% of the time?  Well hotmail would fall into the other 25%.  Hotmail may be free, but it's limited caching abilities, flurry of ads and over-use of unnecessary scripting (probably what is causing your issue) make it totally worthless.  Gmail is also free, uses little to no scripting, lacks ads, and allows for nearly unlimited transfer sizes and caching storage.  I only keep my hotmail account open to use when email activation is required (in other words it's a spam trap) I suggest you do the same.
