Username and password required for gadgets?
This is an intermittent problem, but most times when I switch on my PC I get a Windows security message popping up:
The server money.service.msn.com at ASL26555 requires a username and password. Warning: this server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
I get a similar message for weather.service.msn
The only change I have made recently is installing a new router supplied by my ISP. I have spoken to them, they are clueless; I have searched for answers (others have had the same problem) but I cannot find a solution. Disabling my weather and currency conversion desktop gadgets obviously gets rid of the messages, but there must surely be an answer to why this has started happening?
Also, Windows Live Mail sometimes fails to connect to Hotmail (no problem with other mail such as Gmail)
Any suggestions?
