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

    Cesar,

    you are all over the internet with this solution to this problem and it does NOT fix the problem!  please refrain from giving this solution as a fix.

    Hello,

    I believe I have eliminated the problem. The error has not appeared for a while. My fix for the Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant service problem was to change the startup type to "Manual".

    I hope it works for you.

    p.s. In the intervening period (since my last post) I also installed in a dual boot configuration Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit. I doubt this played a role in eliminating the error. But I thought I should note the change in the configuration of my machine.

    Dear Perri 26

    Please see posts 25 and 26 June 2014. This has been tried before but has not worked for everyone. It has for me but do not be surprised if the issue crops up again - for your sake I hope not.

    cheers

    I am also receiving the same dialog box each time I start Windows:

    "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"

    This started a few weeks ago.  Apart from downloading upgrades I am not aware of any new programs I have installed prior to this message.

    This began happening to me last week.

    Nothing in the event log.

    Seems this thread has been going on without solid resolution for a long time.

    Anything on the horizon?
