New Error After XP SP2

Has anyone encountered the following two error messages
after (or before) installing XP SP2? A technet search
only results in two hits, which don't solve the issue.
These errors occur when trying to connect to Hotmail
using Outlook Express. IE and Outlook 2003 (using a
different account) work fine. The messages a
Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
Account: 'Hotmail',
Server: 'http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp
', Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Redirected',
Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80004005

Header download for the 'Inbox' folder did not complete.

That error usually indicates problems on Hotmail's end, Tim.

I sure hope it is on Hotmail's end...but I would think
others would be affected. It seems too coincidental it
just happened when I installed XP SP2. When I go to
Hotmail via IE, all is well. I had already tried adding
hotmail.com to the trusted sites and to allow
cookies...no help.

I guess it WAS coincidence after all...now it's working
again!

Thanks for the suggestion,
Tim

I am getting the same thing ever since installing XP SP2.
I have not found a solution yet.
