Hmmm, i cant log in to msn hotmail :(
Tried a diagnosis check and it came up with the below message-
Error 12169 connecting to www.microsoft.com: The supplied certificate is invalid

Any ideas how to sort it?

Can you get into other sites? It's just those that start https that have trouble?

If so, follow the instructions here:

I had something similar ages ago and this solved it.

No problem. I don't know why it happens but fixes it. Might be worth making a note of it in case it happens again.
