When I click on the 'root' of my Hotmail account, it shows "The page cannot
be displayed". How do I rectify this?

When I then click on Send/Receive but only my Inbox is updated. How do I
ensure the Bulk Mail is updated as well.

Thank you.
 
The root folder has no page associated with it.

Use Ctrl + Alt + S to access your send receive group settings. Select your
Hotmail account and choose the folders you want to update in Folder Options.

You don't. The root of a Hotmail account doesn't ever show anything because
it always contains nothing. Why do you expect to see something there?

Press Alt-Ctrl-S while viewing your Inbox. Select your Send/Receive group
(probably "All Accounts" and click Edit. Select the Hotmail account and put
a check by the folder named "Junk E-mail". Click OK.
 
It displays The Page Cannot be found and I thought I could change it to
display the Hotmail URL.

I also thought it may fix the problem where I click in the Inbox or Bulk
Mail and the screen 'refreshes' for about 3 seconds then 'moves' and seems
to reset itself to the left hand pane. I wanted to find the cause of this
problem and thought it maybe related. Have you heard of this issue?

No, never. Can you post some before/after screen shots?

I am unable to post bmp files with before/after screenshots on the
newsgroup.

Not to the newsgroup, but there are tons of free image-hosting web sites to
which you can upload the screen shots and then post the URLs to those
images.

Well, then, I'm out of ideas, except for one. I've never seen that pane
move before and the only thing left I can think of is that it's a video
driver problem. Make sure you're using the latest version of your video
driver. If you already are or it doesn't help, someone else will have to
step in.
