I am trying to set up an existing hotmail account onto our laptop for the first time through Windows Live and am getting this message - "Windows Live is synchronising this account. Check back in a few minutes". It has been stuck on this message for about a week now. This hotmail account works fine on the iPad and through the outlook website. The laptop and connections have all been checked and are ok. Any ideas? I am at the point of ditching that email and creating a new one, unless someone can tell me what the problem is...... Many Thanks.
