SUMMARY
This article describes how to manage friends and messages in a Games for Windows LIVE account.



MORE INFORMATION
You can create and manage a Games for Windows LIVE account on the Xbox.com Web site. Xbox.com has always been the place to find out about new games and hardware, learn about your fellow gamers, and check out upcoming events.

If you already have a gamer card, sign in to My Xbox and check out the new features. If you have not signed up for My Xbox yet, now is the perfect time. A Silver membership is free. Even if you are not a member of Xbox Live or of Games for Windows, you can reserve a gamertag now.

You see your friends list in the My Xbox area of Xbox.com. You can see who is online and what they are playing. You can even see whether you have any pending friend requests. You could be surfing from work or school and see that someone sent you a request.

You can also use the Xbox.com forums. You start friendly conversation about a certain game, or you challenge someone to a showdown. You can also click the names of other players to see their gamercard and to send a Friend Request.
