My mother in law got a new computer with windows 7 and windows live essentials. She has windows live email. She cannot send or receive email and the password box keeps coming up asking for her account name and password which she cannot remember. Can windows live essentials be removed from the computer and be reinstalled and clear this up? She is 80 years old so I am trying to correct this for her.
View 6 RepliesI'm using Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate edition, and every app I installed is working. But when I go to the Windows Live website, I can't download windows live essentials! When I click on "Download now" browser just keeps loading and loading but nothing happens. Tried with Chrome and IE, and I got same result. Then, I got an idea - I have copied wlsetup-web.exe file from my laptop to the USB flash memory, and then tried installing. File runs, but I can't get farther than "Prepairing the installation" because I got some error which say that I'm not connected to the Internet, although I am.

Did a Windows Live Essentials update, after which, my email contacts were all gone. I did system restore, exported the old addys to a folder. After closing Windows Live Mail, I could not reopen without re-doing the update install. So, I did. When I went to the CONTACTS tab (bottom left) it never really opens. It clears the emails or calendar, from the main window but leaves the same 'ribbon' (or task bar or whatever at the top). It doesn't show the options that should be there for 'contacts' (no import/export/etc). If it matters, I do not sign in to Windows Live Mail. When I open it, there's always a a popup that says I've tried to sign-in too many times with the wrong info.

I checked each option tab and contents in options, Mail and other sections, could not find that options endabled. I want to disable it if possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI admin that I installed Windows Live Essentials a few days back. I didn't like it (sidebar: it made dealing with my many Outlook accounts a pain, but that's another discussion). So, I removed it.
Now, I just checked for updates and Windows Live Essentials was in my list to install. I installed everything except Windows Live Essentials. How do I remove it from the list?
I have tried rebooting since my successful update of the patches I wanted.
I looked in the SoftwareDistribution folder, thinking maybe there was a single file that I could remove, but there's my entire history of updates there, which I don't want to mess with. I certainly don't want some other user on the machine to OK the install, so I would like to hide it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI uninstalled Windows Live Essentials 2011 through Programs and Features. It left several folders in the Registry and Windows Live Mail on the HD. Although I own and granted permission for the Live Mail folders, these "trusted installer" files will not delete. After uninstalling programs in past OS, I have always gone into the Registry and manually cleaned out remaining files that were not uninstalled. I would like to do the same for the remains of Windows Live Essentials in the Registry, but because it has "Windows" in the name, I am reluctant to remove from the Registry...... I am not sure if it is linked to anything else. I have CCleaner, but apprehensive about using in the Registry.Can some wise person let me know if I manually remove Windows Live Essentials and its family folders from the Registry the sky will not fall down (that said, I don't know if the trusted installer folders on the HD and in the Registry will allow removal)

Worse, I put this on 8 client computers who had windows live mail essentials 2011 prior and same problem.Once uninstalling 2012 and going back to 2011 (you can still get 2011) the group contacts went just fine

When I try and uninstall the current version the win live uninstall window list all the apps and itself as not being able to uninstallable..

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy PC runs on Windows 7 OS. I've installed the Windows Live Essentials but MSN Messenger and Live Mail programs are missing from the Start Menu though the installer stated that these 2 programs are already installed on my pc. I browsed to the Programs folder but can't locate any folders on MSN Messenger either. There is a folder for Live Mail though. However, I can't find any .exe file inside that folder which I can use to create a shortcut to my desktop. Had reinstalled the latest Live Essentials package umpteen times but problem remain unsolved.

View 0 Replies View RelatedI have Windows 7 Ultimate and I have my Windows Update settings set to "Download updates but let me choose whether to install them." The reason I use this setting is because even though I usually install the updates (because mostly they improve things), sometimes I'll see an update that I know I do not want to install. So I want to have control over which updates get installed.However, I ALWAYS want to install the latest "Definition Update For Microsoft Security Essentials", and since those updates are released very frequently, it's very annoying to always have to install them manually. Is there a way that I can have ONLY those definition updates installed automatically while still leaving it so that all other updates are not automatically installed?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI can't install Windows Live. The installer keeps rolling everything back after 99% of the process. For the first time it failed it only installed MSN and Mail and the rest was rolled back. Since then it doesn't download the installation files any more as the old ones are stored somewhere on the disk and it uses them for the installation. Guess the problem occurs because the installation files are corrupted but how do I force the installer to download the again? Looked everywhere and can't find the place where the old installation files are stored...
Just in case, the error i'm getting after the roll back is:
'try installing win live programs again. progs were not installed because the installation was cancelled. aborted: 0x80004004'
I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 7. I used Windows live movie maker on my old laptop which was Windows Vista. I've tried several times to install and each time it seems to be installing, though it takes a very long time but then when I look I find the installation has failed. One thing I did do when I got this laptop was use Windows Easy Transfer software to move my files over onto this machine. I don't know if something there could be affecting it since my old machine was running Vista? I have the same antivirus program (AVAST) that I did before. The machine does have some of Windows Live installed on it could this be this issue?
