Question about Outlook Express

When I sign into Hotmail, my folders are along the right frame, then there is empty space, and the messages are seen by scrolling way down. None can be opened, the links do not work. I signed in from a windows based computer to opt out of Outlook.com, and the view on the windows based system is the normal hotmail view. I am using Safari 5.0.6 Mac computer, and all I did was clear the cache, and this has happened. How do I get the normal view with working links back? I tried options, and it says it is forbidden to change the view settings to "right"...
