I keep trying to use LIVE to get to the market place. But it says that I need a valid product key. When I was installing the game it never asked for my product key. I have the boxed copy and I see the LIVE access key right inside the box but i don't know how to register it. I can play the game fine but cannot use LIVE at all.

am I missing something here? I did not pirate it so don't bring that up.

you should have to type it in when you log into live in the game.

I have the same problem and im running vista. The error says cant sign in because your product key is not valid. Please enter a valid product key, Ive tried 20 times a day for the past 5 days ive checked and rechecked my code and its the one i got when i bought the game from the store (its currentyl up to date with patch 1.7) and two DLCs Broken Steel and Anchorage directly from GFWL Both of which are downloaded. My video card is a GeForce 9800M GTS, Intel core 2 duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26 GHz and 3 gigs of ram. Im at wits end ive looked at dozens of forums on this topic and evidentaly Bethesda isnt going to fix it anytime soon.

I had the same problem a while back... You have to press Home to open up the Live menu and then activate through there, I can't remember where exactly... But I know you type in your key through the Live menu after the game has been installed anf launched...

Hey I cant even get GFWL to start when I enter Fallout 3. I wasnt asked to enter a CD key at any point in the installation. Any Ideas how I can get GFWL and Fallout 3 working together?

Try clicking ok or whatever on the error. When I do that on a few of my THQ games it then lets me "re-enter" the CD Key. Which makes me wonder "when was I doing the regular entering? >_>"

when you start Fallout 3 you have to click Data Files instead of "play" And check all of the files for DLC's
