I got following error message while I log in to my windows account and only my account.

I tried to set Windows Live ID sign-In Assistant to manual start in Windows Services. it only works one time, once I start using Windows Live mail and log out and log back in then I get error messaged again. I tried to msconfig and uncheck Windows Live IS Sign-In that I do not see error message, but  Windows Live Mail cannot launch,

I use Windows 7 Home Premium version.

It looks like that it has something with Windows Live mail,

Your help and information is great appreciated,

Regards,

Souris,

Here is error message,

There was a problem that caused parts of the Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant to be disabled. You might not be able to sign in to Windows Live in some programs. The problem may have been caused by a program that was recently installed. For more information, please go to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=144689

    I have this problem too. Several people have had success changing the startup type to automatic - delayed start. How do you do this?

    Dear carolmso

    Type in 'services' in the search bar of the start button, double-click on the search result (should only be one).

    Scroll down to the service 'windows live id sign-in assistant' and double-click on the service line.

    In the resulting pop-up you can change the 'start-up type' of this service.  Click OK etc. after changing and then close the services window. Try a restart (preferably cold boot) to test the changes.

    I have mine set to 'manual' while I await a response from MS. All other options did not work for me

    good luck

    The redirect has been unhelpful.  It says, "For more information, please go to:  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=144689."  This takes me to my live.com email account, not more information that helps me understand possible causes or solutions.  It would be more helpful if the dialogue box pointed to a landing page that explains what to look for in my live.com account--and then links to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=144689.   Maybe others have a different experience or perspective.  From my vantage point, I am left without a clue as to what I might look for or do.
