GTAIV: Cannot start game, does not recognize windows live account any more

drmcninja79 · Feb 20, 2016

I have GTAIV on steam on my PC. I used to play it a lot, but haven't for a few months now.

Suddenly I can't start the game anymore. In order t play the game I have to log in with my Windows Live ID.

I've checked my ID, and I can acess my windows live as well as Xbox live acount via my browser.

However GTAVI does not recognize my account. It used to work without problems before.

I have tried downloading and installing the "games for microsoft live" client but here also, the client does not recognize my Windows Live ID.

What can I do? How can I resume playing GTAIV on steam?

Zune software does not recognize Windows Phone 8 device

I cannot get my Windows Phone 8 device added to my XBox Music account. My Zune software does not recognize my new Windows Phone 8 device so I cannot download music to the device. Any suggestions of how to make this work?

The directions online says:

To add a Windows Phone to your Xbox Music Pass

Sync an Xbox Music Pass item you downloaded from Xbox Music Store to your device. It will be added automatically.

By the since the software does not recognize the device we cannot figure out a way to make this happen.

GTA IV sign-in on xbox for windows live doesn't recognize my product key,, so I entered it on the xbox.com redeem code page where it was recognized The game is still asking for my product key and not accepting it saying it's invalid, so I cannot proceed
to game.

Isn't the GTAIV forum a more logical place to be discussing GTAIV reviews?

first, Live is not the only thing that uses the game tag system, Zune and Windows Live for PC games use it. second, the system does not recognize caps or spaces in a tag so divine prodigy Divine Prodigy and devineprodigy are all the same tag, you will just
have to be more creative in creating a new tag sorry.

Hi Mister Fizzle, I'm having the exact problem as CrunchinJelly. These problems are specific to purchasing on Xbox.com, not on the console.

When trying to purchase on xbox.com, the website wants add a credit card. The website does not recognize the amount already converted on our account. I have $23.00 on my account, but the website does not recognize any money to use to make purchases. So I
cannot buy a $3.74 game through XBOX.COM. Seems purchasing is now broken on the website using existing credit.
