Have you gone to Control panel, Programs and Features, clicked on Windows Essentials, clicked Uninstall/Change, Repair..... ?

this does not work.  uninstalled windows live/ does not work after re-install, tried the fix programs/all they want is to pay for their product.  put in fix it/it does not.  tried go back to an earlier date/does not work, even when they say its a virus. proved them wrong as did not have windows live running in laptop as main computer was always running windows live. still have the error code 0x800488eb and no one has a sensible working answer to fix this???????
