Today when I started my Windows Live Writer it fails to start and throws me an error saying it Cannot Access Disposed Object on startup. I try to repair Windows Essential but it fails, then I took back up of all my accounts and uninstall Live Essential and re-installed but again I got same error.
Then after some tweaking and digging I found that this error occurs due to the corrupted registry entries, you can repair your registry if you know but I suggest you not to go with this option as it might corrupt other live essential products too.
So to fix what you can do is :-
- First take backup of all your Windows Live Writers accounts, theme, and posts using Live Writer backup,
- Now once you had backup type regedit in your run command and navigate to :-
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows LiveWriterWeblogs
- Under this key you will find several sub-keys, based on your accounts which you had added in your Live Writer,
- Just delete all these sub-keys and close Registry Editor and re-launch your Live Writer,
- It will load without any error and ask you to add blogs, as we had deleted all,
- You can restore all accounts using Live Writer Backup tool which we used to backup your Live Writer data.
