Try to sign in in safe mode.

If it works, disable all add-ons in safe mode dialog, save changes and restart -- it'll restart you to normal mode with all add-ons disabled; check for the issue there again.

I again tried to sign on to hotmail and got the following message. I can get into live mail but it is important that I access hotmail in order to send an attachment to a site that will only send if in hotmail and not live mail.

It can sometimes happen that a Hotmail account is not available. I've seen that in the past a few times, so you can try again later to see if that works like the message says.

This has been going on for over a month. But good news is that I again emptied out all cookies and was finally able to sign into hotmail. Thanks so much.
