• 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?

• Where is the location of games for Windows Live Marketplace Temp?

  Hi guys,.

  I'm having if bad weather try to install Games for Windows live. I downloaded the http://www.xbox.com/en-ZA/Live/PC/DownloadClient Installer and ran it on my computer Windows 8. The downloader has downloaded the files required to install GFWL, but for some reason some got to the point where it said 22.3 MB to 30 MB download and then immediately jumped and said GFWL is now installed.

  When I try to open GFWL, it is ALWAYS asking for me to install Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant. I downloaded that and tried to install several times, but without success!

  1. I tried to install with Windows 7 compatibility. -NO Succeess
  2. I tried to install as administrator (right click Run as administrator) - WITHOUT success.
  3. Every time when I open the installer, he don't ask me to redownload the Setup, which makes me believe that he jumps right to the installer downloaded previously, which the Setup file stored somewhere!
  4. I uninstalled and reinstalled SEVERAL times and did a reset later.

  I have reason to believe that this file is corrupt because it did not download the full 30 MB as indicated by the program. So my main question is, how do I delete temporary files, where the hell it might be, so that I can re - run the installation program and do the installation of games for Windows Live Marketplace program redownload the files from scratch.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Morne,

  Temporary files are stored and used in the TEMP folders and TMP/system or the user temporarily a task is performed.

  Well, if you want to delete the temporary files, then try the following steps:

  a. press the Windows key + R on the keyboard. Type folder in the Run dialog box and press ENTER.

  b. press on Ctrl + A to select all temporary files and press SHIFT + DELETE to remove the temporary files.

  Once you have finished the temp deleting files that you can download and check the status of the issue.

  Hi D33Viilz,

  I found a post on the Games for Windows Live site that has addressed your question.  Here are the steps and the link to the original post:

  If you're running Vista, you can not uninstall all .NET Framework before 3.0.

  If you haven't already, you will need to download 3.5 SP 1 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en

  If you are running Windows 7, it should have the most recent of the .NET Framework.

  Also, I would say that you are using the tool Mod proposed (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) to completely remove Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE and LIVE Redistributable.

  When you have finished using the cleanup utility, check that it has been removed through programs and features.

  Restart your PC, and then re-download the newest Client of Games for Windows LIVE here: go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9640147

• Games for windows live cannot connect

  Games for windows live cannot connect to the internet, this problem started last week when I tried to play Dawn of war 2 online. At that time I was running Vista Ultimate 64 bit and after exhausting all existing boards on this site and many others, I decided to completely format my PC and start again with Windows 7 64 bit, but I have the same problem exact. only now my profile is no longer stored on my PC because I formatted so I can still play offline.

  After trying to connect, it says "the profile could not be connected to LIVE. "There may be a network problem or the Windows Live ID service may not be available" option on the GFWL client network status says:

  NIC: Local 2 network connection

  Internet IP address: not connected

  Local IP address: 192.168.2.9:0

  System link address: 192.168.2.9:3074

  Account PC: PC.000000000000

  UPnP: Not signed in

  PC ID: 0X10DF99910D0A00E8

  I have made the following recommended to others in similar situations, has passed all the recommended ports (TCP 53,80,443,3074) and UDP 53,88,3074, installed and running Windows fix it, Microsoft.Net 4.0 update, installed and run Winsockfix, disabled windows firewall (I have not installed any other protection software yet) compatible UPnP on my router, changed my static connection type and still no progress. My router is supported and I am in a country supported direct (UK). This my independent being, but I also experience certificate errors when you use Microsoft sites, which is strange as I said that the Web site of the company that developed the program that I use is dangerous. It's my totally finished in guys any help would REALLY be apreciated. Cheers.

  I can't believe ive finally resolved, hours after validation. the button on my motherboard battery had been dislodged and my date and time have been reset in 2009, whenever I stop my PC. everything is working fine now GFWL working and no more certificate errors.

• 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.

• Cannot connect to Games For Windows Live

  I used to connect, but now I can't connect to Games for Windows Live in Resident Evil 5. Here are the steps I've tried and have failed.

  1. Sync would have time with internet time.
  2. Assigned a static IP in my router and forwarded the ports UDP 88 and TCP/UDP 3074 to this IP address.
  3. Give my NIC priority in the data card advanced.
  4. Downloaded the latest version of gfwlivesetup.exe.
  5. Deleted my internet cache.
  6. Has allowed the application of GFWLClient.exe in my Windows 7 firewall.
  7. I have all the criticism and non-critical Windows updates installed.

  I can connect on the market very well out of the game. Here is the information on my network settings from in the game.

  • Network adapter: network Local 2 connection (my Local Area Connection 1 is disabled)
  • Internet IP address: Not logged

• 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 have to recognize correctly save the profile and games. Am I'll settle GFWL (reinstall on windows) or I can play games with GTA IV save and start the game with the GTA IV launcher. In short be Games For Windows Live to play GTA IV. I really hate GFWL recital that he deleted hours of gamplay saved on my drive.
