Hotmail no longer working properly in Safari on my MacBook Pro

I have Safari 5.0.6 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 and suddenly can't properly access my emails from Hotmail using Safari. I can log into my Hotmail account, but the page layout us suddenly different the last 2 weeks or so. Most of the icons are now lined up on the left side of the screen instead of across the top of the screen. Lots of ?'s in boxes at the bottom too. Once I load my inbox, none of the hotlinks to my individual emails work. What's going on?

If Mail is fuunctioning ok, go to mail preferenes, highlight he hotmail acct and click the minus sign, then click the plus sign and rereate the acct. Write down all info easpecially the password and go thru the set uo again. ManyISP's are moving to iMap, and it is causingiussuses with POP accts. Hope this helps

I don't use "Mail" to access my hotmail account. I just use Safari and log in using the web. I have tried to set up a mail account, but it asks for info I have no idea about, like the address for incoming mail server, outgoing mail server, etc, and I don't know where to find it. As such, I have not been using mail and have no accounts set up with it.

You would get that info from your ISP, give them a call.

You don't seem to get it. I'm not asking how to make "mail" work. I'm asking how I can get Hotmail to work while using Safari.

It used to work just fine, then suddenly stopped for no apparent reason.

I am getting the same thing. Lots of "?"s. Started happening about a month ago. I switched over to the outlook address and it worked for awhile and not its back.

I'm having the exact same problem. It doesn't work on Chrome either... which leads me to think it may be some setting on my MBP?
