Anna,
I have pretty much the same problem!

and i even have the desktop windows live downloaded. with hotmail running
through it, but when i'm on a web page and click on something trying to send
a link {you know the pop up new email form} it makes me go through this set
up and when i enter in my hotmail email it tells me that it does not accept
hotmail anymore what can i do cus i need to use this function? i have to stop
the set up and exit it.

That sounds like Windows Mail is opening up when you click on a mailto link,
instead of Windows Live Mail. Go to "Start" - "Default Programs" - "Set
your default programs".
highlight "Windows Live Mail", then click on "Choose defaults for this
program".
click on "Select all" to make sure the MAILTO is selected
click on "Save"

When you installed WLM, it should have taken over the email defaults from
WM. But it seems to have missed the Mailto protocol, anyway.
