What is causing this?  The task manager says its' running fine, hotmail is the only program I've got running.  I have even shut down Word which I don't think would bear much relationship to the workings of Hotmail but I'm desperate.  Refreshing the page sometimes will work but most of the time I have to open a new window and shut down the old one.  If the new window doesn't work, I need to wait for the error to clear.  I have run ad-aware several times so I'm all clear on the junk front.  I have Roadrunner which isn't fast but I've been assured that it's working normally. 

Hotmail seems to work great with Chrome.  I prefer IE 9 though.  I already connect to HTTPs automatically.  I'm sick to death of clearing my browser -- I've cleared it so many times, there aren't even cobwebs hanging around.  Is there anything else that I need to change?
