WDTV Live + Windows 7 "Invalid Username and Password. Please Try Again Later"

Unfortunately I don’t have a restore point from that long ago.  But I did finally find the Windows Live Sign In Assistant as a running Service.  Disabling the service and restarting does not fix the WDTV’s login issue.

But I don’t agree that this is a Microsoft issue.  The WDTV Live has many flaws, and this is another that needs to be addressed with new firmware.  I can still connect to my windows 7 file share from my mac.  I can connect from other windows machines on the network.  Only the WDTV has problems connecting.  It’s a very problematic device.
