Gears of War + Windows 7 + Windows LIVE = FAIL

It's not the problem with the password, it's clearly Win7s problem. I can login normally and play without any issues when I boot to XP. Something in Win7 is stopping GoW from reaching internet and I don't know what exactly [firewall is off, upnp is on, network discovery is on].

GFWL works here, its your problem

It is not my intened to offend you but have you even READ the whole topic? I already wrote that it works on XP, and does not work on Win7.

Gears of War + Windows 7 + Windows LIVE = FAIL

Seriously, you did not READ nor did you UNDERSTAND what I said right in the start.
I have:
- got the lastest LIVE software,
- ports forwarded on router,
- Gears of War [PC] running on XP machine with no problems, even without updating GfW LIVE software,
- firewall off,

Any real advice instead of ignorant statements by cloud8521?
I am aware that there is nothing wrong with LIVE network at the moment and the problem is based in my Win7, that's why I ask for advice in SevenForums in the first place, right?:)

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice, cheers.

The fact that GfW L works for majority of people is well known, so it's not new and not relevant. Furthermore, I am not the only one with this problem, hector17 seems to be having the same problem, like many other people around the globe [google it].

I've tried numerous reinstalls, I can login to GfW L application/site with no problems at all, same goes for Xbox Live on the site [xbox.com] and console.

It works perfectly ok on XP on the same computer, just different partition. I have XP on one partition and fairly fresh [4-5 months] install of Win7 on another, which now is my main OS. I've literally searched everywhere for a solution and did not find a thing that helped me even remotely.

I decided to take a peek in Event Viewer and that's what I found:

Code:

Title wargame-g4wlive.exe (1.0.3340.131) XLive 3.1.0099.0 (WGX_XLIVE_V3.01_RTM.091106-1035) C:\Windows\system32\xlive.dll

Also at the same time:

Code:

Any clues?
