Hey,

When I try to sign in into Live in Gears of War PC i get this message:

Image 1
Image 2

I tried all the popular remedies which I googled up beforehand and still nothing. This includes router settings, port forwards, windows ip socks and all that jazz. Zip, nada, nothing.
I'm on W7 x64 but the game works so that's not an issue. Neither are GoW patches nor Games for Windows LIVE software as I got the latest possible.
I also tried every last suggestion in various topics in this forum and still nothing. I KNOW the issue is with Windows 7 because it logs in perfectly in Windows XP so that's not router's fault for sure. UPnP is enabled in Win7, I checked and even downloaded software to check if the UPnP works [it does].

Any suggestions?

Try to connect directly to the internet modem. You may need to have a port opened on your router for it to work correctly

Does the PC have any problems getting online otherwise? Like going to websites or chatting.

Do you have any other games for windows like GTA4 and do they have the same problem?

Do you have your games for Windows live account associated with a Windows Live messenger account if so try logging into your messenger account first then start the game and try to login games for windows.

All required ports are already open, as stated in the first post. I already tried connecting directly, the problem persists.

PC has no problems getting online [games/http/ftp/etc.] whatsoever.

Unfortunately I have no other GfW LIVE games.

LIVE account is associated with messenger account. I got the same issue while logged into messenger. I even had the games for windows live application running in the background, logged in without any problems.

Were you able to log onto GFW with this game before? Can you laod the game on another machine to see if it will work on another machine. Try changing you password in messenger then try to logon again.

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].

Reply in style of cloud8521:

Um, yeah. You are doing something wrong with your head, so be a good boy doing us all a favor and READ this post from start to end.
http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/45170-gears-war-windows-7-windows-live-fail.html#post429413

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.

Uhh, im sorry Mastah Jay, but he has a point. He said that GFWL works for him. This is relevant, not a "Ignorant comment by cloud8521". But hey, peace ppl, and lets try to fix your problem. It seems that you are the only one that doesnt get it working. So have you tried to re-install? Also, try to log in to the GFWL web site, see if that works. Have you activated the account? try that if you havent

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.

Ok, sorry, my bad. You said that it works perfectly in XP. Is that on the same computer here or another? If its on a diffirent one, make sure you arent already logged in to the service. Also make sure no other program is already logged in to the program.

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:

uninstall GFWL, but not the game. then run the game, and open the multiplayer. It will ask you to install GFWL, and follow its instructions. Then check if it works ;D
