WIndows Live essentials update

Hi, yesterday I sent myself spam email (was a friend so I opened) and as I did I got a pop up in the bottom right of my screen saying windows live essentials has an update.  It seems a bit suspicious to me because I've never seen this before pop-up, I always use the standard windows update.

Don't you think it's a virus?

Thank you.

  • Printing problems after the installation of Windows Live Essentials update

    I am running Windows Vista 64 Home Premium version and had been successfully using an all-in-one HP PSC 2355 printer until yesterday, I installed Windows Live Essentials. Photos, in particular, never get to the file printing.  The TEst Page from Windows printer shows printer is installed correctly. Have tried to reset the printer (unplugging / plugging) without success. Have not found new drivers for the printer.  What should I check before I agree to replace the printer?

    Thanks for your suggestions.   I uninstalled WLE and my printing problems seem to be resolved.  Not really sure how useful WLE was and I received the long ok without it.

  • Updated Windows Live Essentials 2011 a disaster

    I am very reluctant to download Windows Live Essentials 2011 as the last time I did, I lost all the contacts.  However, I can not actually open Windows Live Mail without updating.  Can I substitute this request and not up-to-date with Essentials 2011 at all?

    Tip: Windows Live Essentials, not Windows Update, not prompt you to upgrade (update) to Windows Live Essentials 2011 QFE3 (v15.4.3555.0308).

    Note: Beginning June 14, 2012, QFE3 is a mandatory upgrade. If you refuse to install, applications Windows Live (including Windows Live Mail) will stop working.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    TIPS:

    After update QFE3, sign out of Windows Live Mail and connect again then patiently wait 5 to 10 minutes, leave your account data to synchronize with the new Microsoft back-end database.

  • Update of Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419) beat Microsoft Office 2007

    Immediately after the installation of Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419) through Windows Update on my Vista 32 system, Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate invites to enter the license key code and starts the installation.  The normal template is gone/modified so that all the options of the program are returned to default original.  I saw this happen at two other PC's today so I know that this isn't an isolated incident.  Is asked for license key code in Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.  If I don't give the key code, a screen repsonds that installation has been cancelled; However, all the custom settings for the program were still missing.

    In all these cases, the BONES and the Office have legitimate activated licenses is not the question.

    Just noticed that Outlook lost one email account and the account settings button is broke (grey) so I can't recreate the e-mail account.

  • Update of Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419)

    Hi eveyone.  I get an update of windows Live Essentials 2011 KB2434419 update.  Initially, it seemed that he had 2 files included in this update, however, lately, there has been only one file.  When I click on allow and install the update, it creates a restore point, and then tries to install.  When the update reached 67 to 69 percent, it indicates that a problem has been met, then it goes to uninstall itself.  Now, when I go to see the updates were installed, he mentions this update has been successfully installed, but I know for sure that there is not.  Can someone help with this problem?  Is it possible for me to hide this update so that I no longer receive it or have it installed correctly?  Im just frustrated that I see this daily update, and have attmepted to install it so many times, that I am at my wits end and don't want more.   Help, please!

  • Problems with Windows Update for Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419)

    Yesterday, I noticed that there is an update available for my Vista and Windows 7 computers.  I started to perform the update.  About halfway through, the update hung.  I noticed a secondary window jumps to the top.  Using the secondary window, I was able to complete the update.

    The first update window continued to be hung.  I restarted the computer.  After the re-start, I have re-opened Windows Update and went to look at the history of the update.

    The story says that the update failed with error code:

  • I now have a problem with the update for Windows Live Essentials 2011

    I don't understand how it happened, but maybe someone could enlighten me?

    First of all, I was informed of an update for Microsoft Security Essentials. So of course, I did the update because I didn't want to be protected.

    I don't know if this is related somehow. I think that my update understood also as a Windows Live Essentials package. When I checked my e-mail and instant messaging, I noticed that the format has changed, and now, I think it's the new WLM 2011.

    It may seem very nice and put up-to-date, but it caused a series of serious problems for me. Let me explain:

    First of all, I must clarify that I am disabled and use the speech recognition, Windows speech recognition Dragon NaturallySpeaking both, because I can't use my hands.

    In the original WLM before the update, if I were using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I was able to dictate with great ease and had no problem. If I wanted to then send the email I would say just 'send' and e-mail would go. With WLM 2011, if I say that now, it does not work.

    It's just a problem that I have. The next problem is much larger. In some cases, Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition will not work and I can't dictate anything. I then have to close WLM completely and then open it again. Then only, it'll work. This happens many times and it's very frustrating, as you can imagine for someone like me.

    Forgive me for saying, it may seem very well with all the new bells and whistles there, but it makes my life a misery at the moment. In my view, there are a lot of bugs that need to be sorted out first with her.

    My question is, can I go back to the original WLM somehow until the update meets my needs? Can I go back to the status quo when WLM 2010 worked well with speech recognition for me?

    If so, can someone tell me how to do what you please?

    If not, then how am I supposed to use these features now?

    Thank you

  • Windows Live Essentials 2011 update error 0 x 80070643

    Problem: I know exactly what I did to cause this: I would open Windows Live Movie Maker and it asked me to update to Windows Live Essentials 2011. I started to let that happen, but then I thought, ' wait, maybe I should cancel this update and check to see if there is already a newer version (for example, '2012') of Windows Live Essentials "(I had no idea at the time where it's the only version of Windows Live Essentials, should I use for Vista). So I cancelled the update and that's where I made my mistake. He canceled for me and said something along the lines of "it may be a problem with one or more of the programs (such as). Now, if I try to open Windows Live Essentials to start the update, I just get the same message on my screen: a small box entitled, circle of "Windows Live Essentials 2011"with a big red with a white 'X', then to the right of which the title, 'You are installing other programs' there."
