Fixing the “xlive.dll is missing” error

xlive dll is a small, but not negative part of the Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE game service. This application allows users to connect to devices that are supported by the service  Windows LIVE. Very often installing modern games on your computer, such as:

- Warhammer.
- Resident evil.
- GTA 4.
- Bulletstorm.
- Dawn of war.
- Fallout 3.
- Fable.

Therefore, when you launch these games, the system may display a message that a file called “xlive dll” is missing or damaged. (XLive.dll not found; XLive.dll is missing).

This file is copied to your computer when you install the game.

Its absence can be explained by two reasons:

- Error installing the game. That is, the archive or disc with the game can often be damaged or packaged with errors.

- Very often these libraries are infected with viruses. So first you need to check your computer healing utility Cureit and only then proceed to the next steps.

The solution to this problem is to download this file from the Internet or find and install it from the disk on which the game is recorded. However, this can only be done if the disc is licensed.

After downloading this file from the Internet, you need to copy it to the game folder and to the system folder “C:\\Windows\\System32”. After repeated reboot the computer the game will launch successfully.

Also, when connecting to the Windows LIVE service, the system may generate an error about the absence of a sequence number in the xlive dll library.
