Question asked on Oct 19, 2014

I did an upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which took about 7 hours). Windows Live doesn't work - "Windows Live Mail could not be started. it may not be installed correctly ...(0x80041161) 

I tried various things recommended online:

- Tried starting Windows Live Sign In Assistant. No effect
- Tried doing a clean reinstall - no effect

- Tried starting with all services turned off. No effect.

I need to get nine months of my life back. It wont even let me do a Restore back to Vista.
