    So I've been wanting to get back into Fallout 3 (PC version) to get a couple of achievement that I missed. But because I just redid my entire computer I needed to reinstall the game. Ok, no problem.  Now I have to put my Xbox Live account in so I can get the achievements. It gets to the loading bar to download the profile but then it never moves. I left it going for 4 hours but still nothing! Has anyone else had this problem?

    @captain_clayman: Yes I tried that and it works fine but when I go back into the game tt doesn't have the account listed so I have to download it.
