Hotmail Password

Since installing Microsoft Office 2007 I have been asked to reenter my
password for Hotmail on numerous occasions. Why is this?

Authentication fails when you use Outlook or Outlook Express to try to log
on to a HTTP-based mail server if you use Internet Explorer version 7:

I probably should have mentioned that I am still able to receive email in my
hotmail inbox on Outlook 2007. I just have to re-enter the password.

There's nothing to fix AFAIK.

NB: 904942 is not needed or supported in Vista!
