Im sorry if this is in the wrong forum place but, to do various things on xbox live such as send and accept friend requests, go to marketplace and buy things like the new heroic map pack you need windows live ID, whenever I try to do something like this on my hawkeye543 account it says that my windows live ID is "invalid". I cannot send or accept friend request or buy anything in marketplace. Also because of my "invalid" windows live ID it will not let me link my gamertag to my b.net account. Yes I have tried customer service but it did not help at all. Any suggestions?

Are you using the same WLID that you have registered on your hawkeye account?

yes I think so

Well if it's invalid then that probably means you're not using the right one for your hawkeye account. Make sure you have the right WLID. I think one way to check is to to parental controls, see what it ID it tells you to put in, and then see if that's the one you've been using.

Well Enough Alone...

Ya. I would check the parental controles and also sign in to WLID site (sorry I cant link it) and sign in there with the WLID asn check the settings. If it is only linked to your gamertag, perhaps you could unlink it and creat a new fresh account. Wait, What WLID do you use to sign in as bungie.net? It should be the same one that your gamertag is linked to.

I hate WLIDs.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

As well as making sure that your WLID's are the same; I would also suggest validating the ID. This may be what is causing the problem if you haven't validated your WLID yet.

Honestly, who doesn't? It's a huge hassle, but they seem to work smoothly.

Sign into the WLID website, link above, and by your email it should say 'Validate'. Click it, and an email should be sent to your email with a link. Copy the URL from the email and paste it into the address bar. Then go to it.

God made 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Make sure you're using the right email address to sign in with. I've run into the same problem when I was trying to just type in a gamertag instead of the email address that it's associated with.

Just a thought.
