  • I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live!

    I bought the PC Version of Fable III of this year early and installed and created an account with games for windows Live! About 2 months ago, I formatted my computer and reloaded windows 7! Last night I downloaded Microsoft Flight and used my existing account to play! Today, I installed Fable III and the game won't start as it says that I am not connected to the internet! This is wrong since I write here for you! Why my game will not, organize that I have connected to my account last night with problem now? Please help me?

    Yes, unfortunately GFWL's an imperfect system. Steam has similar problems. I find the best way to avoid
    problems is to play all the games that are related to a system off line.
    I have absolutely no interest in what GFWL can offer online, in any case.
    Many games have a "fix" for GFWL, which are generally easy to find through a search.
    Of course these only help facilitate offside line.

    Try Timeslips Fable 3 GFWL remover - it is well known in the modding community, particularly
    its managers mod for Bethesda games and his job is safe to use.

  • Can't sign in to games for windows marketplace using windows live id error: 80048439

    The problem:

    I bought a game a few days ago, but cannot sign in to games for windows marketplace. I try to connect using the GOOD live ID and the password that I used when buying this game on the website (it works when signing on my live account on internet and on this forum). A few seconds later, he says:

    "Unable to connect. ID Windows Live ID or the password entered is not valid. Enter your information and you reconnect. "error: 80048439 cannot authenticate.

    I tried several fixes that are found on the pages of support for games for windows live.

    I have reset my password

    I deleted all my cookies, cache files and internet (several times)

    When I try to connect to live in the game (using a steam game) I can't connect either.

    I looked in the port forwarding, but there is no explanation on how to do it on my router (actiontec q1000). I don't know if the port is the problem or what. It is not a new modem, and it worked a few months ago.

    I used gfw live years and had no problems until now and I swear that I use the password and login name.

    Any info I can get to solve this problem is appreciated.
