Error message on Vista Windows Live Calendar beta

For the last week or so i've been having problems with the above calendar.
Despite saving my username and password, each time i tried to sign into
Windows Live Calendar beta,it prompts me for my username and password. I type
in the correct details, only to be informed they are wrong and to type in the
correct details. I type in the same details and hey presto, I see the
calendar. But today things got worse and instead of seeing the calendar,
internet explorer displays the error message, "Internet Explorer is unable to
open Web page..............."It then tries over and over to open the page,
each time in a different window. I've got good antivirus and malware
protection on my pc, so think this must be a corruption problem. Any thoughts
would be appreciated.

You do understand what 'beta' means, right?

I suspect the Windows Live servers might be suffering from yet another bout
of /agita/, BP.

I don't know of any support newsgroup or forum for WL Calendar but this
newsgroup isn't one of them.
