Several months ago, my account on this computer, not that of another user also on this computer, starting getting the Windows Live ID Sign In Assistant error, "... caused parts of some services to be disabled, etc..." that many have reported but there seems to be no cure for. Coincidental to that annoyance cropping up, one of my two email accounts started prompting for the password for access. I tried entering the password, but it won't take it and keeps prompting and then I noticed that the account was functioning just fine, sending/receiving, without ever resolving the password prompt window, so I closed the window.
While WLM and all is quite functional, the process is very annoying.
This computers is a W7 Home Premium SP1 machine
Steps taken to resolve have been limited and quite unproductive. In one process (can't remember the application name), I changed Windows Live ID Sign-In Assistant in services.msc from Auto to Manual and that didn't resolve anything. In another step, I upgraded Windows Live Essential from 2011 (possibly earlier) to '12 and that didn't improve anything.
Oddities: only effects one of two users on this computer and only effects one of two email accounts in my user account. I have no issues with WLM on my W8.1 laptop
Suggestions for remedy are appreciated.
