Original thread title: Unable to access hotmail - help!!

I'm having the same problem as others in that I can't access my hotmail either through my desktop shortcut or google.  MSN isn't displaying properly when I go through google and am panicking as it's my only email and need to access. I get the log in page and put in email address and password but then get "page can't be displayed" make sure address correct etc.

This page can't be displayed

Make sure the web address http://sn117w.snt117.mail.live.com is correct

Look for the page with your search engine

Refresh the page in a few minutes

FIX CONNECTION PROBLEMS

Tried internet settings and TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 are ticked but there are other TLS and SSL ones not ticked. Was OK yesterday. Only thing I did yesterday was a back up for first time - not sure that would make a difference?  Any help please as need to access.  I'm on Windows 7.  Hope I've done this right it's my first time on here, not sure if I picked the right topic.  It says on status Hotmail working OK but mine obviously isn't.  I'm worried at the issues since upgrade to outlook and whether I should have another email. If I got a G mail too can you divert your Hotmail emails to G mail in case it happens again? and therefore access email through either?  Obviously I need to get this sorted first.  Many Thanks
