So I installed 4.9 after I reformatted not remembering it didn't work properly and WLM 2011 would not open on startup. After this persisted (Few weeks) and I couldnt find any solutions I reformatted again and A few days ago Reinstall 4.9 again seeing if It was just a one time fault. It isn't.

Im running x86 Windows 7.
The box is marked to open on startup in both MSConfig and WLM itself.

Any solutions would be nice! Don't want to have to reformat again.(N)

Hello.

I'm having the same problem. I use Windows Live Essentials 2011, then I tried to install MLP 4.90 and the installation seemed to be OK, but when I started the WLM the MLP icon was missing. Then, searching for some help in the 'Plus!' menu bar item, I realized that there was some kind of error and I was encouraged to install the latest WLP version, 5.00.

I installed it (seemed to be OK too) but since then it is impossible for me to log in to WLM, or some other Live services either (for example, it is not possible to start Live Writer, altough it is able to log in through PhotoGallery application).

I tried to uninstall both MLP (4.9 and 5.00) and the WL Essentials and then reinstalling it. Didn't work. Uninstalling MLP and WL Essentials and then installing WL Essentials only doesn't work either.

Having a look inside the Windows registry (RegEdit) I found an entry called 'Plus!' but I'm not sure whether it belongs to MLP or not. The following (and last) solution I may take is formatting the drive (so annoying!!).

No need to say that after each uninstall I restarted the laptop.

I use Windows Vista in my laptop.

Thank you for the help.

News on this topic.

I have two different user profiles, an administrator profile and a normal user profile. The admin profile is the one I have used to install and uninstall the WLM and MLP.

On chance, I logged in as normal user and WLM seems to work properly. Hence, troubles arise when I try to log in while I am using the admin profile.

And now comes the most weird issue of all: I don't know the reason why I am not able to rename a folder while I am using the admin profile. I can create it, but not rename it (it remains with the name 'Nueva carpeta' -'New folder' in spanish). Once it is created, I may change the session to the normal user and then it is possible to rename the folder name.

I guess if the WLM start issues come from the fact that the admin user is unable to rename folders, so perhaps WLM needs to create some folders during starting and if it is unable to do it, then it crashes on start.

If you have two different user profiles try to log in WLM with both of them, perhaps one of them works properly.

On the other hand, if someone has any idea about why it is impossible for me to rename folders while using admin profile, please let me know. It does not seem to be a permissions issue, since the user has admin priviledges and I have checked the folder permissions too.

Thanks a lot.
