Answered in the Windows Live Mail desktop newsgroup
Ensure you are completely signed out of all Live applications (web UI, Messenger, and any Windows Live Essential application-Mail,
PhotoGallery, Writer and Hotmail)
Ensure that your Windows Live ID in both Mail and Messenger is not configured to sign on automatically or remember your
username/password.
Open WLMsgr and change the display picture. (do not enable the 'Remember' options)
Once done, sign out of Messenger (not exit..completely sign out)
In IE go to Profile.live.com
Logon...(once again do not opt for any remember options)
Update your online profile with the same picture.
Sign off when done.
Open WLMsgr(and sign on with your Live ID)
Open WLM and sign on to Windows Live with the exact same Live ID used in WLMsgr
