Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant to be disabled

Anonymous

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

An examination of the event logs on my machine reveals that this error began cropping up on my notebook back on 8/19, with the first instance being at 11:18AM, following a restart four minutes earlier. The immediate previous system change preceding that restart was the installation of Windows Defender Definition 1.181.42.0 (KB915597) at 4:19AM. That update did not force a restart, but took effect following the next restart... which came at 11:14AM, roughly seven hours later.

The system change previous to that was the installation of the latest version of HP Update Manager on 8/17, but there were several restarts between that installation and the onset of the problem. For this reason, I'd rule out the possibility that the HP product is responsible, just as I would rule out the next series of updates (on 8/21, including Java SE and the latest Windows Update Engine) as responsible for the problem.

can some one confirm it is a virus or not, because I only got the error message on one of my Windows 7?

it does not happen to all of my Windows 7 machines.

Thanks again for information and helping,

Hi, personally I doubt it is a virus because (hopefully) Microsoft would have reacted more quickly if they thought that was the case... but I am no expert....so if in doubt...

In order to get rid of this annoying message I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials, but retained Microsoft Security Essentials. Even so, the slow response from Microsoft beggars belief.
