i never subscribed to hot mail. i am going to say that i have a legacy
msn.com email account that i always accessed thru outlook express. a while
ago it changed to a pop3.live.com account. i can log into windows live with
my new password. however ever since i changed the windows live id password i
haven't been able to get my password accepted thru outlook express. i have
deleted the protected system storage key to no avail. if my memory serves me
correctly there is another registry key that needs to be dealt with. this is
where i was hoping for help.

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)?

of
course i can't find the limited notes i took at the time. yes it is a
pop3.live.com account. i far as i know it is not a hotmail account it is
the
legacy outlook express account I've had since win95. I am paid subscriber
to
live however.

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.
