It may sound off topic at first,but trust me it's windows related
I was trying to log into hotmail using the site today (by that I mean going
www.hotmail.com) normally I just go through msn to check my mail. However
when going to the hotmail site I get the following message before I can even
type anything in.
Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config"
configuration file located in the root directory of the current web
application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute
set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's
<customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Now I tried going on two other computers to log on and it loaded up the site
fine. So then I was thinking, well maybe it's just the computer itself. So I
tried logging into the same computer that was giving me troubles but using a
"test" profile. Bringing up the site revealed that everyhting was fine.
However logging back into windows with my main profile made the problem
return. I've tried virus scans, spyware scans and came up with nothing. I've
tried clearing SSL certificates, clearing my temp files, temporary internet
fies, clearing histroy, etc... nothing seems to fix it.
I even tried reregistering some files suggested by miscrosoft's knowledge
base. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem, and if there's
a way to fix it within my user account (as I have a lot of information under
it, and I don't think copying the info into a new account will go over well.
Any help would be appreciated I'm at my wits end.
thanks,
Ryan
