Parental Controls blocks Hotmail access

Since activating Parental Controls using Vista 64-bit SP1, whenever I try to access my hotmail account using the web gui, I get the following error message:

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at Sign In might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.


More information on this error Below is the original error message
Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error.




I can access my HotMail messages by direct download into the Outlook application on my Vista PC, and also via web gui in XP. How can I figure out what setting I need to relax in Parental Controls, to allow me to access my mail? For me it is less urgent than for my son: he is also prevented from using the web gui, and doesn't have the luxury of an Outlook account. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...

Thanks for trying, Dwarf, but I checked out the tutorial, and unfortunately it didn't help. I think I already have the right websites set to allowed; here is the setup:

Blocked categories = {Porn/Mature/SexEd/Tobacco/Gaming}
Allowed sites include: login.live.com; sympatico.msn.ca; hotmail.msn.com
"Only Allow websites which are on the Allow list" is UNCHECKED

So I need to try to figure out what component Parental Controls is choking on...

Can you gain access if you temporarily disable Parental Controls?

I've always wondered the point of this Parental Control crap. I think it's useless, it's just another excuse for parents not to teach their kids about these things and just block it. They should ban all parental control systems in my opinion. So, why did you activate it? My parents are just so computer stupid they don't even know how to transfer pictures off a camera lol. I've had to build, repair, setup the network, and everything else related to technology in our house. My room is like the NOC of datacenters lols =).

Sorry for the rant, just can't stand these systems.
