Repeatedly asked to refresh browser (and thus lose content)while using hotmail.

When composing a message on hotmail, yellow bar appears across top of hotmail screen which says that when email account is accessed from other computers, for security reasons you are asked to refresh your browser. Appears 2 or 3 times in fifteen minutes, and when one refreshes the browser, all content composed on the screen is lost. Very aggravating. The email account is NOT accessed from any other computers. Thanks.
