Nada. Not a sausage, not working.
Anyone else got some solutions I could give a whirl? Appreciate the effort though marc
I did recently install google chrome, might that have done something to it, and I've installed a few games.

I doubt its related specifically to the games for windows live marketplace..the error seems more generic to windows itself..permissions related according to a quick search.

Its a user acount error to do with permissions on the folder GFWL needs to store data & installs. Some viruses reset folder permissions so you end up with not enough access to operate certain programs.
GFWL produces an install log file in:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\GFWLive\Logs
Have a look at that for clues you also need to install the latest MS Dot.net release & updates from Windows Updates.
