TO: Microsoft FROM: Liliolady.51

I'm also having ongoing problems connecting to Microsoft Bingo. All other games: solitaire, mah-jong, other bingo games connect immediately, so it is not my server. This has got to be at Microsoft's end. Please correct or I am bound to remove ALL games
from my computer and chuck them.

Error Code: 0x80096010 when installing GFWL

Hopefully this is the right place to post this. If there is a better place, let me know. So I have had this problem for a while now - at least since April. I got a new computer with Windows 8 on it. In order to play some games (Batman Arkham Asylum & Arkham
City), I have to install Games for Windows Live. I've never been able to successfully install GFWL. I have found the directions here -

http://www.alialsawaf.com/post/36741943821/how-to-fix-games-for-windows-live-on-windows-8-pro-x64 and followed them. They seem to work for many people but not me. I searched the internet for hours a month or two ago trying everything I could find, still
nothing has worked. I searched the above error code in the support section her and it's not even listed. I'm at my wit's end and about ready to swear off ever buying any other games that require GFWL. Any other ideas? Here is my error log:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
