I recently upgraded my laptop to a SSD and Windows 7 Professional, I began to download all the things I needed on the new drive, including Windows Live Mail. I signed in to Live Mail, and tried to set up my email, but it came up with this:

Logon - Talktalk (the start of my personal email address before the '@' symbol)

Please enter your username and password for the following server.

Server: mail.talktalk.net

Username: (My email again)

Password: (my correctly entered password)

I know the password is correctly entered because I changed it and wrote it down, then entered it again exactly. Every time I click OK, it disappears then reappears after a few seconds, and it doesn't say anything about anything entered incorrectly, But when Windows Live Mail shows the error, it says a wrong password was entered, and comes up with 2 messages of this:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Talktalk (my email) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your username and password for this account.

Server Error: 0x800CCC90

Server Response: -ERR Authentication failed.

Server: 'mail.talktalk.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC92

Protocol: POP3

Port: 110

Secure(SSL): No

I don't know what's happening, but I'd appreciate the help so I can get on with upgrading my laptop. :)
