    Hey.

    It's some time now that I can't register a new email in Hotmail.

    What's happening ? Anyone know Why ?

    It keeps showing an error after I complete the registration form and click at the link to finish...

    What does the error say? What browser are you using? More info please?
    Try registering at home.live.com

    Microsoft certainly won't be disabling new registrations in Hotmail for a very long time, if ever :D

    Uh, well according to the error message they are having temporary problems. Just try again later..
    If it's been days then try a different browser, make sure everything is enabled (images, javascript), try clearing cache, all the normal crap. If it still doesn't work then do yourself a favour.

    Well, I've tried in 10-11 PCs in my city and also asked some friends. Doesn't work for them either...

    What could it be?

    In what country do you live? They might have disabled registrations there because of spam or fraud or something.. try using a proxy :|

    I don't think they will stop the new email registration.
    Since google gmail release, many hotmail users turns to gmail which make MS worried .

    The problem might be due to the changes they made to the site. They might still be working on it, but keep trying.

    Sometimes when using web browsers other than the IE some error messages might occure or at certain times of the day when there is a kind of server load.
