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

Thanks for sharing that. Did you check whether uninstalling the Skype add-ons alone while leaving Skype itself was enough to stop the problem?
For others following this saga and willing to test, in Internet Explorer open Manage add-ons (Alt-T A) and disable both Skype Click to Call and Lync Click to Call if they're installed. These have been known to interfere with several other programs.

I started to have this problem about 10 days ago. Read all the posts. I think Microsoft has washed its hands of the problem and we are on our own. Someone out there must have the answer to this problem. Is there one sure way to stop this annoying pop-up? The link in the pop-up isn't helpful (takes me outlook.com mail).
Thank you
