Hello Judy,
Allow me to make up for the inconveniences. When you mention MSN homepage, is it the my.msn.com that is set as your homepage?
To isolate the concern, please follow these steps:
1. Open an Internet Explorer window by clicking on the blue e icon on your desktop.
2. Copy the address of the MSN homepage and paste it on Internet Explorer. Press Enter to load the page.
3. Click the sign in button and sign in with your email address and password.
4. If the site does or does not load please follow the steps on this link to fix Internet Explorer which is also MSN’s backbone: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Reset-Internet-Explorer-settings
Feel free to reply to this post for any questions or feedback.
Thanks!
