This gets tedious.  Wndows7 Updates have not worked for months and no "fix" fixes that, so I gave up.

Now, as of a couple of days ago, I cannot sign in to Windows Live Mail 2011 (though Outlook.com works for *** Email address is removed for privacy *** )

No "fix" works. including securely changing my password several times, as prompted and using the provided codes via my land line.

Obviously I can log on to other Microsoft services and, judging by the numbers of people with a Windows Live problem since late July, the problem must originate with Microsoft, not anything local to me/us.

I re-iterate that I have tried cited "fixes", such as running 'repair', but nothing works - as others have reported.
