I don't see any of these options, but I am having the same problem. Can you provide me a link?

Solution: abandon your Live/Hotmail/Rewards account that is having the issue, and just start a brand new account. You won't retain any of your credits, but after 3 months of trying to get an answer on the error, this is the only thing that worked.

That means that they were hacked and won't tell you that of course because it looks bad for them.  The outage has been going on for a lone time now.  Outlook and Hotmail are not dependable anymore.

Please start your own thread asap.

That way you should attract more attention rather than tagging on to an old thread.

FYI...

Asking an effective question will get you help faster.
