You have a valid Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscription? If so, is your new
LiveID password also associate with the subscription?
Does the new password work when you access the account via webmail (i.e.,
http://hotmail.com ...which will resolve to another address)?

the
legacy outlook express account I've had since win95. I am paid subscriber

Can you still relogin to your Windows Live account using the web
interface using your new password? That would check that what you
thought you specified as your new password really is your new password.
Then change the password in the account defined in Outlook Express to
match your new password.
So are you using an HTTP or POP account in Outlook Express for your
Windows Live Hotmail account? Is it a free or paid Windows Live Hotmail
account? If free, Outlook Express doesn't support Deltasync protocol
which is what Microsoft is moving to and away from WebDAV (the old
protocol that OE does understand). That means you either pay Microsoft
for a Windows Live Hotmail PLUS account to get POP access to it to use
Outlook Express or you move to using Windows Live Mail as your e-mail
program which does support Deltasync.
