i've had this issue also. don't know why or how to fix it, so i just use firefox for hotmailing.
 
go to safari prefrences/security/show cookies/ click on live.com then remove all
should work ok then
make sure when you finish using hotmail log out on safari or problem will occur again ...worked for me
