• Cannot install games for windows marketplace, games/install crashing because xlive.dll

  I'm having a problem with a bunch of my games crashing because they say xlive.dll is missing. When I try to uninstall and reinstall Games for Windows live using the link online it starts installing and then gives me the error

  Error writing to the file: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\xlive.dll. Make sure you have access to the directory.
  People said on the forums that games for windows reinstall should solve this problem. Since the XLIV error is the one I am trying to fix I do not understand why the installer would also break due to this file. How can I get rid of these errors?

• Virtua Tennis 4 - games for Windows LIVE

  Virtua Tennis 4 cannot start (steam purchase) because the game cannot connect to Games for Windows live service. It turns out that Batman Arkham Asylum is unable to access the service, too. So the problem seems to be related to the service. Uninstall and try to reinstall the service appears a window of compatibility problem known for her, a help line (via the button) is currently (29/12/2012) is not available.

  Without the service won't start even Virtua Tennis.

  On my sons computer (RC Win8) the service works correctly (with him), so it might be a problem with the configuration of my computer (PC connected to the DC games started through local account). I know that some games have problems trying to run them from a DC user (perhaps because of the redirected folders), but the local user was the way to go. Not the case this time.

  Thanks for the quick response!

  Virtua Tennis 4 error message has

  "Fatal Error!"
  Could not initialize the Games for Windows Live. This application will be closed.

  Uninstall the "games for Windows - LIVE redistributable Microsoft ' and 'Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace' and resettlement of http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/PC/DownloadClient did the trick.

  SOLVED

  BTW,

  first a few times I have uninstalled, and used the Setup program provided with the game (compatibility issue window), later I ran the installation from the web site. The installer found the client already installed (but did not check the version?) and took the plunge. Only after uninstallation, the correct client has been downloaded.

• 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.
