I am unable to empty the Trash Can in MSN Hotmail.
Did you ask Hotmail support what's wrong with their mail system? I'm sure it's been pointed out before, but this isn't a Hotmail support forum.

When I click on Empty a window informs me that an error has occurred and that I should click on the OK box provided.
When I do this nothing happens.;(
What did you think was going to happen? Presumably if they knew how to fix it, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
If I may make a suggestion, why don't you get a real email account, and give up using an account which seems to permanently suffer from problems just like this one? It's easy to determine this if you search for "trash can hotmail problem" on Google. It returns 1,420,000 hits including, unfortunately, this forum. Google may be a popular way to find things on the net, but it isn't really all that smart, and you shouldn't regard its responses as definitive.
Most ISPs give an address or ten away free with your internet access. It's probably the most reliable email account you will get. You could even buy a domain name and have an address that belongs to you, rather than to Microsoft. You can host it anywhere, including places like Jodohost, and take it with you when you move ISPs or hosts. These other options are advertising and hassle free, so why are continuing to struggle with a company that not only seems unable to give you an address that actually works correctly, but doesn't even provide useful support when it goes wrong?
Failing all that, and if you're still determined to get something for nothing no matter how poorly performing, you could try Gmail or Yahoo or one of the many other free email account providers. They don't all seem to be suffering from the same total incompetence Hotmail does.
