heres the deal...for the past few days i havent been able to sign into my hotmail account. msn messenger works fine, but when i go to check my email the website keeps saying "please retype your password." i tried it on my buddy's computer and it works fine. i ran spybot and ad aware but to no avail. someone plz help!

Have you got cookies turned on?
Have you also tried clearing out your cache and trying again?
I cannot login to my hotmail account either on a particular computer. The only change I can think of is that I installed MSN Messenger 7.0 beta. The other computer where login is not a problem still have MSN Messenger 6 running. I have deleted all cookies and temp files in Internet Explorer and even uninstall MSN Messenger 7 but still no success.
Anybody has any other ideas?
The login failure message I get is:

I think these hotmail problems are caused by the latest IE/MSN Messenger updates.
I was able to get into my hotmail using firefox,(in Linux & Windows), even when Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger could NOT access the hotmail site.
I "fixed" the problem by hitting the reset button in the "Internet Options/Security" Tabs for the various levels of Internet Security.
Also cleared the "Block all cookies from originating website" list in the privacy report pop-up box.
Don't know which of those actions did the trick, but it does work now.
