    For some reason, I can't sign in to Game's for Windows Live.

    Whenever I try, it says "Signing In" with the glowing circle going around it, but nothing happens.

    This happens for all my games; Fallout 3, GTA IV, Batman, etc.

    I haven't played some of these games in a while (about 2-3 weeks), but it was working fine before.

    Anyone have a clue?

    Restart your PC. It happened once with me and it worked.

    Highly doubt it.

    Haven't changed any Anti Virus/Firewall since I last played. Don't think that would be the reason.

    Good call. No freaking clue why a simple restart would do it.

    Sometimes I think my computer does this to fu** with me sometimes...

    Would think you'd have tried that before posting tbh.

    I posted it, then tried it. Didn't think it was a problem, since my computer was off all of yesterday.

    "Restarting a computer will solve 59% of all the problems there is" - Albert Einstein



    That was a joke (obviously). Well... nice to hear it worked out.
    Always try to restart/re-install a program. It will work most of the times depending on what problem you have.
