click start button and type "msconfig" and hit enter. When open goto startup tab and un-tick the program with name of "windows live" or "iexplore.exe" and hit apply and close. Hope it will help!

    Nope, thank you for taking the time to try and help, but didn't.  My startup programs do not have windows live in them.  Maybe if I did the opposite and had my windows live ID in startup that would have the reverse affect.  I will try and see what happens.

    This is not the only solution available.  You can also follow these steps:

    Launch MS Excel 20** then -

    • File > Options > Advanced
    • [ x ] Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)

    This will, of course, stop your data feeds that keep your reports and spread-sheet alive. 

    If this happens to you, as it did me, so far Microsoft is so busy putting out Windows 8 fires that its not bothering to fix things like this.

    Keep clicking OKAY.  It doesn't hurt anything.

    Also, if your antivirus is set to dive in early on boot ups, this may also be a contributing factor, but its going to take more time researching this than I have.  So I just continue to click OKAY.

    MS: If you have some time... Please help us fix this issue.

    My configuration:

    I have Office 2010 running Excel with live feeds from MS Dynamics, using the excel plug in.  I love the software!  Dynamics is awesome!  Been using Excel nearly my whole professional life.  But this message is very annoying and we would like to make it go away.
