    It does seem very unlikely that it has stopped working just because you reinstalled your operating system.

    Remember these services are designed to be used on any computer anywhere with an Internet connection, regardless of browser and operating system.

    Why doesn't it let you sign in - what happens when you try?

    It appears that all is ok regarding javascript being enabled.Not sure if this has anything to do with it but each time I navigate away from this page I have to log into MSE even tho I have ticked the``remember me`` box.

    What's your operating system and which browser are you using? Have you tried clearing all your cookies?

    Another thing I have found is that yahoo is not reconising my pass word.could this be some sort of malware.Would it be a good idea to run ``hijack this``?
