How to setup Outlook 2007 to use a Hotmail account

[useronly]

Hi



could someone please let me know How to setup Outlook 2007 to use a @Hotmail.com account, I have googled it and none of the results are working.

Perhaps if someone who has Outlook 2007 working with a Hotmail account they could let me know their settings.

Thanks

Using the section under.
Add the new account to your unsupported version of Outlook 2007


Although I don't know why my version is not supported, it is the latest and fully updated.
