Looks like you are still having issues with GFWL. You did download the reinstall GFWL directly from MS correct?

I found this after looking around a bit. Possible user profile corruption.

Quote:

Log in as a different User. rename the problem profile. Log in as the original user again. A new profile will get created. If the crash is gone, copy your over your user data from the corrupted one.
If it does not solve the issue. Repeat steps with default folder too. This is the template profile, when creating new profiles.

If you go into the Windows control panel there are two entries one for LIVE and one for the Marketplace. LIVE and the Marketplace are two different entries in the control panel list. Microsoft Games for Windows-LIVE Redistributable and Microsoft Games for Windows Marketplace.

Are you saying that if you try to uninstall them from the control panel they won't uninstall?
