Sign In Windows Live

When I start my desktop Windows Live a sign-in window appears. My username
name appears OK and then below, a area to enter my password. I check the
'remember password' box but every time I logon anew it asks me for my
password again. Is there any way that I can get the 'remember password box'
to remember my hotmail password?

Re: Sign In Windows Live

Sign in is for a Live ID. Are you using your Hotmail name and password for
the Live ID?

Re: Sign In Windows Live

Yes I am. What is the difference between a Live ID and a paid for Hotmail
ID? and how can I get a LIVE ID?

The password for the Live ID can and should be different than the Hotmail ID
password.

Re: Sign In Windows Live

I'm not sure you need another Live ID(your Hotmail email address is already a Live ID)

Does you Hotmail username and password combination work when accessing
1. http://mail.live.com
and
2. http://account.live.com

Are you asked to verify your logon by a prompt to enter 6 or 8 characters in a box with either (1) or (2) ?


Did this problem occur prior to installing the latest version of WLM 14.8089.0726 ?
If not, is this your first installation and use of WLM.
