windows live settings stopped working

[madmardle]

Since upgrading to the latest version of Windows Live Messenger I keep getting a pop-up saying Windows Live Settings has stopped working, this then changes to a box saying Windows is trying to solve the problem and will close the program, then nothing happens until I click close programme myself or click the red X. The only thing I have noticed different is the fact that Windows Live Messenger used to come on automatically when I turned the computer on and now I have to log in by clicking on the symbol. I don't mind having to do that if that is what the message means but how do I stop the pop-ups appearing?
I have tried asking the question on the Webuser forum but although it has had plenty of views no one has bothered to answer, or don't know.
I use TP forums for my photography questions so perhaps someone will answer this one

have you tried contacting their support directly?

Had to do this via email 2 years ago when it kept losing member groups, they finally got back 3 days later and it fixed it.

Iv'e sent two messages on their help line ( I think I have anyway, there didn't seem any way of telling they had gone) Thanks for replying anyway, I will try again by e-mail as you suggest. I knew TPs member wouldn't let me down.
