Some have reported this trick works:
Sign out of Hotmail, select save email address only and sign in. This bug
only happens when you sign in on save/remember my email *and* password.

Reasoning: If you log into Hotmail and check the box "Do not remember my
e-mail address
for future sign-in. (Select this when using a public computer.)" it
will not let you open attachments. Hotmail is actually protecting you
by not letting you download personal attachments onto a "public"
computer!

64.4.49.124 is one IP address for a Hotmail server, btw.
