SUMMARY
Games for Windows LIVE currently does not support the Windows Vista Guest account. Therefore, you cannot play Games for Windows LIVE when you are logged on to Windows Vista by using the Guest account.



MORE INFORMATION
A Guest account provides access to a computer for users who do not have a user account on the computer or on a domain. The Guest account enables guest users to use the computer without having access to personal files on the computer. The user who is logged on to a Guest account cannot install software or hardware on the computer, change the settings, or create a password.

After you log on to Windows Vista by using the Guest account, the network icon indicates that the network is either disabled or disconnected. This behavior occurs because Games for Windows LIVE currently does not support the Windows Vista Guest account.
