Outlook Express / Hotmail password not working on new PC

S

steve

Migrating to a new XP PC from my old Win98. Outlook Express working fine on
old PC. Hotmail is my mail server.
I used "Export" to create a file of my HotMail account, transferred it to
the new XP PC, and used "Import" to create the new account, also in Outlook
Express.
When I connect, it seems to work for a while, then begins to have me retype
my password over and over, apparently not accepting the password, until it
says "authorization required" or something similar.
I've tried manually creating the account, but same problem.
It's the exact same password which is being used successfully on Win98 and
it works fine when I go in through a web browser.
Anybody know what's going on here? What is it about XP which is blocking my
password?
Thanks
