Hotmail

[MrBen5]

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?
cheers

[MrBen5]

I cant even get onto facebook either :(

Yeah, cleared all my temporary internet files aka pixi, still no joy.
Its looking like i cant get onto any secure sites :(

[weeal]

what about your firewall Mr Ben? is it blocking these sites?

[squarebear]

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.

Hi weeal, dont have a clue about that firewall thing link.
It says something about 443, cant find that anywhere :(
It was working fine yesterday.

[MrBen5]

Woohoo , that worked squarebear.
nice one :)
now i can go leave comments on peoples photos on facebook, cheers

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.
