Games For Windows Live (800488EB error Code)

I have the version of GTA4 PC (bought via steam) and this game like many others use the Games for Windows Live client.  The game worked fine and online (via my gamertag xbox live) for about half a year now until 2 months ago.  After you download a GFWL update for their client, I was unable to connect to my account via GFWL.  In game, just to say that my gamertag did not exist, which wasn't true because I could sign in here, xbox.com and Windows Live site.  When I tried to connect using the GFWL market he gave me the error code 800488EB authentication failed. Can you help me please someone, I would really like to play my games again online.

  • Access my account to Games for Windows - LIVE 3.0

    Whenever I try to log in with my account to Games for Windows - LIVE, an error occurs. He said: I can not connect no problem first of all an account. My Xbox.com account, however, is in perfect condition (and it is comprehensive, as well). I really don't know what to do, because when I have access to the link that was suggested by the program (Games for Windows - LIVE), I always get into my page at Xbox.com, but everything goes well with my account here.
    The error code is: 80154017 (and I've not found in my research to the Microsoft Web page).
    I really hope that this error can be resolved as soon as possible, because most of the games I own use Games for Windows - LIVE to connect online.
    My operating system is: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (32 bit).

    Hi Redfah,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

    It seems that the country in which you are located is not a country supported for LIVE services.

    The Games for Windows LIVE service is available only for a limited set of countries.

    Unfortunately, if you are not located in one of those, you will not be able to use these services.

    A full list of supported countries can be found on the given link:

  • Cannot install Games for Windows Live

    I need to install Games for Windows Live to play several games on this laptop.

    When I run gfwlivesetup, all downloads very well and gets to the point where it installs GFWL and I get the following error every time:

    "An error occurred during the installation of assembly ' Microsoft.VC90.CRT, version ="9.0.21022.8", publicKeyToken ="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"processorArchitecture ="x 86", type ="win32 "'. See Help and Support for more information. »

    Looking through several log files, I discovered the error to be (0x8007078f) code that relates to, "connection failed: the machine you log on is protected by an authentication firewall." The specified account is not allowed to authenticate on the machine. »

    So two things come to mind. The account is authenticated and firewall. Well, my account is an administrator account and right click on gfwlivesetup and choose "run as Administrator" does not change a thing. Well, screw the router, I just take the right out of my router modem jack and plug rather the ethernet of my laptop, without going through all the ports that can be blocked. The only firewall that is up and running (the only one installed) is the MS OS firewall, so let's just turn this baby off and still the same error.

    So if we ignore all the error code (0x8007078f) completely, then we can treat the error originally presented... I see basically: processorArchitecture = "x 86", type = "win32".

    Well, I'm running a Windows 7 64 - Bit, and my processor is a Core i7-740... I am out of the resources here. I have seen many people having the same problem or similar (Google reveals a lot). So if someone is willing to stick with me throughout this, I intend to see resolved (at least for me). I only pray that as I did not reinstall Win 7 or make repairs. They do not understand all of these DVDs with the laptop.

    Thanks in advance,
