Windows Live Mail is unable to connect and saying that you are currently working offline. Do you want to go online? Clicking Yes, will only brings up a repeat of the page.

Windows 7. Been using Live Mail for 12 months no problems with access.  Recently (4-5 days) was prompted to restart computer to install updates. Since then when starting Windows Live Mail (computer already on line with network) instead of live mail connecting to selected email acct a page appears "you are currently working off line- do you want to go on line now?  Yes/No "  Clicking "Yes" immediately brings up a repeat of that page.  Clicking Yes again does same again. Clicking yes again brings up the query "there was an error when attempting to connect to Windows Live Calendar Service.  Also a "go on line" icon has appeared on the taskbar since the "update".  Clicking it does nothing or brings up the same quesry as reported.  I have reloaded email account info, passwords etc but no good result.  Can't get in to get emails - currently using webmail for that!
