Windows Live Problem

Hello, i am being driven crazy by windows live. i have a hewlett packard computer thahas vista home edition in the motherboard.

and windows live keeps opening itself over and over and over sometimes it tries to open 5 copies of itself at once

and i have done several spyware scans with several different pograms including norton, adaware, spybot, mcaffe and windows defender. i and spyware free on my hard drive yet this progran will not leave me alone!



if i play a game.. it closes out me gaming window every 3 seconds some times demading my attention if i am surfuing the internet it will over ride my keyboard and make itself the formost window. if i close the program out completley it restarts itself and will try to run 5 copies of itself at once



since this program is built right in the motherboard, i cant un install it. it simply re installs itself and then opens even more frequently.i cant acess the regestry keys to change how this program opens so i cant disable it. and it renders me helpless if i rn any program that enters full screen mode.



including painbrush. this anoying program is worse than spyware as it spams me constantly when i playt games or surf the net and the thing is... i am nopt even geting any messages or emails! it just opens itself and sits there.



when i mininmize the window.. it will maximize itself and demand ot be the forefront of atention.





i am not interested in configuring this program anymore. i want to know how to isable it permanently



keep in mind this program is on my motherboard. and hewlet pacard by default will keep re installing it if i take it out.

so can you please telll me how to completley and permanently disable this feature on a computer that has vista home edition inherent in the motherboard.

Hi Fooster,

It cannot be installed on your motherboard. Most likely, it is the HP Recover Manager program that may be restoring it from the recovery partition. It can also be a option of another program that would need to be uninstalled first.

Which Windows Live program is this?

Double check Progams and Features for any suspects to unisntall. Like the HP Recovery Manager.

ok the one giving me the problems is wondows mail. and i will check the recovery feature and tell u if it works

ok it must be windows mail not windows live because it it the mail program that came with it from the factory. and the recovery manager wont list it anywhere and i cant access it from there. perhaps ther is a way to tell the computer to never run that program automaticaly ever and make it all manual. if i cant delete it i tried to change how it opens but i cant .. wont let me
and i looked in start up programs, and cant find it ther either. its well protected

Fooster,

You might try doing a complete reset of Windows Mail without any backups. This will set it back like the day it was first installed. Just scroll down a bit to that section.

well i just re formatted my pc last night because i thoiught that may fix the problem as i origonaly thought it was spyware causing ths due to its frequency in constantly opening new windos over and over and not letting me have any peace. this didnt work

as soon as windows booted for the first time (i physicaly unplugged the internet conection during this) poof there it was .. spamming away and thats how i know that my problem is with the dindows program itself somehow and doesnt need the internet at all it opens itself in safe mode even

so with a fresh partition never even conected to the net.. it still starts this crap right away. and gets worse when im gaming.

Wow Fooster,

That is some bug. What antivirus program are you running?

Can you post a screenshot of it? It might help.

sure what would you like a screen shot of? my desk top task manager? or a screen where it wont let me delete it or alter it?
ill post some screens of those things

Fooster,

Anything that you feel can help ID the problem.

ok i may have solved the problem. see its not vista that is the problem so much as hewlett packards recovery program and so i wiped the d drive and also managed to delete a few regestry keys that relate to the recovery manager. and i also in my frustration altered the comand lines of things i could not delete. one of the things i did seems to have stopped this porblem. however i once thought i got it out and then in a few hours it restored itself again. so i have either solved the problem OR its retoring itself in the background even as i type this.

i will know for sure tomorow after work. if its not solved at that time i will post screens and contact hewlett packard and find out how i cand gain the permissions needed to delete or permenantly disable it.
