IE7 stops Outlook Express 6 from working?

I have Xp home with SP2 & after downloading IE7 I have found that my Outlook Express no longer downloads my hotmail. It keeps prompting me by showing the login box (email address & password already filled in), & no matter how many times I click 'OK' it still keeps opening. Basically I can no longer download ANY of my email via Outlook Express. I have read various posts in Microsoft Forums but as yet have found nothing that will rectify the problem. Anyone know why this is happening & better still maybe a solution?

P.S. My hotmail addresses have been accessed successfully for a number of years prior to my installation of Internet Explorer 7.

This fixed my Outlook Express back to normal, apparently after downloading Internet Explorer 7 you can get some problems occur, Microsoft have the following fix for this:-

You will need to Download the file & install it & then restart computer, go into Internet tools & click on Security & then click the pane at the bottom ' Reset all zones to default level'. After this open Outlook Express & all should be back to normal.

Tried it and then OE wouldn't work at all so uninstalled IE 7 and back to normal.
