Hotmail Virus?

Help! I cant access my hotmail account from my home lap top.
I can access it perfectly from other places.
I can get into my inbox - but if I click on a message or press send I just see a blank screen and the page shows its continuously loading.
- apparently though it does actually send the message when I click send - but I cant see it happening.
I've run numerous virus checks and scans and it appears my computor is clean
This is a real pain!
any suggestions?
I've made my debts bite-size too depressing to look at all at once so am handling them one at a time - first up Graduate Loan £1720 paid off! only £280 to go!!!
Money to raise for tuition fees: £3000
When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on!!

    Have you run a check for spyware? Spyware is often the cause of browser problems...
    Also, do you have Norton? This has also been known to do funny things to IE.

    Which ones did you use? I use microsoft antispyware (free from microsoft website), adaware SE, and Spybot search & destroy. I find you need all three to get all the spyware as they each miss stuff! If you've done that, use microsoft antispyware program to restore the default settings for IE and try again.
    Good luck :-)
