  2. Problem. It says I need parental approval. I'm 23, why do I need my parents to okay this?

    Also, when I click on "My Account" it sends me to an error page.

    1. Hello Tyler,

      Did you look through the agreement? Is it possible that your browser cache may have kept the default date (usually the current date) for the user's date of birth?

      It may also be possible that a script blocker could be a culprit.

      Good luck.

    1. Hello Simon,

      You may want to consider uninstalling the Games for Windows Marketplace, rebooting and running CCleaner.

      If that still doesn't work try : a) Using another browser; b) Clearing your browser cache.

      I hope this helps.

    1. If you have an 360 or a Xbox One, try starting and singing in on them. The Change of Terms of Service didnt show for me when going to live.xbox.com, but it showed after i updated my xbox one.

  9. Didn't work for me.

    I click on the create new account button, then sign into my xbox account on the xbox sign in webpage and then it takes me to the xbox homepage. Nothing else happens. There is no service agreement to accept. I'm stuck and idk what to do.

    1. I have this exact same problem. It's infuriating that I can't play the games I've paid for because... because nothing. There is nothing, nothing to accept or do, what trash. This, combined with every other problem that has come out of GFWL makes it TRASH, good job Microsoft. You're getting trashier by the minute.

  10. I fixed it by going to my microsoft account page at
    https://account.microsoft.com/
    Then I clicked on the 'Your info' tab
    Then I clicked on "Go to your Xbox profile"
    Which brought me to another sign in page even though I was already signed in to my microsoft live account

    Then I just re-signed in using the same Microsoft account and I was able to accept the agreement and now GFWL works.
