I removed my downloaded GFW profile due it causing problems in Fallout 3.
Now i need to re-download it for Halo 2 Vista, but the profile download gets stuck...
Any workarounds?

Whenever I have to download my profile... it can go really, really slow for me. It once took 15 minutes+ for my profile to download. And for some reason, my download didn't wanna move when I had H2V minimized, so I had to do it in windowed mode.

If there's also a chance anything is corrupted for whatever reason, you can browse to the folder:

C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\XLive\ (you have to have Hidden Folders enabled)

and try screwing around with some of the things there. I've never really had profile problems before, but I do know your Xbox Live (or GFWL profile, actually) is kept there.

Thanks, i'll try your hints.
EDIT As for the folder (it's local/MIcrosoft/XLive apparently) just contained bunch of folders and files, nothing i dared to touch. Well anyway, i think i'll leave the profile download running for sometime when i don't use this laptop.. maybe it'll finally work.

Yeah, depending on your profile size, it may take a while. I have no idea why it's so slow.
