Make certain your time, date, and /time zone/ settings are correct.

IE Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Sites> type in

hotmail.com
live.com

and Allow cookies for each domain, in turn.

IE Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > HTTP 1.1 > toggle on/off; "Use HTTP
1.1 through proxy connections" must *not* be checked.

IE Tools > Internet Options > Security > [zone in OE runs; should be
Restricted Sites] > Custom Level > User Authentication > Logon > toggle
between the setting choices here [All options EXCEPT 'Automatic logon only
in Intranet zone' works for me; currently 'Anonymous logon' is checked]

Resetting either or both of the above Tabs to the defaults might help, too.
