It works; thanks, perchance people glance over the notification that "you have to reset computer after you reset internet explorer to default settings".

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,

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

2014-12-14T16:34:11+00:00 I followed the directions above and the annoying "please go to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=144689" is gone.
This has now created a new problem. Now when I try to sign into Windows Messenger I get a message to update to a new version. It starts to install but fails stating that previous Skype version has not completed installation and I have to restart. Restarting did not help and I get the same error message. Figuring the Skype was corrupt I uninstalled Skype. This did not help. I tried not updating but it will not allow me to sign in without updating. Any suggestions?

2015-01-19T00:30:04+00:00 Having same issues. Please provide suggestions for proper fix ASAP.
Still get the annoying error message at start-up. Been able to kill that by setting service to 'manual'. Bigger issue that started at same time is that Internet Explorer will not open!
"Internet Explorer has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Any chance it is related to Skype? Seemed to be a suggestion of that earlier in this thread. I can't say for sure, but that may have been the last update that ran on my machine before issue started.
I've removed the IE 11 update, so now back at version 10...still same problem.
Fyi, I'm in Canada, so when I reset IE, it sets msn.ca (not msn.com) as my homepage.
Thankfully Google Chrome is working. Firefox is also busted.
