Read about it (and use the wizard, if you like) here.
Note that Sender ID / SPF records are optional. No one will drop your mail in the foreseeable future because you don't have them. However, if you get it wrong, then your mail will be dropped by many sites -- you are better off leaving it alone if you are uncertain.

Ok thanks, it just continuesly says pending DNS Configuration, so i was thinkin it had to do with the SenderID, becuase my MX is correct to what i was told to put it as

My comment on the subject was meant to be generic. I have no specific knowledge about Windows Live hosting. Although the use of SenderID is not required for functional email, it is possible that Microsoft designed the Windows Live service to insist that you have it.
On the other hand, DNS changes can take some time to propogate and that could be what your status refers to. See if it's still the same tomorrow.
