I recently purchased Gears of War (Games for Windows PC version) and
installed it succcessfully. When I try to run the game, I get an
error message "wargame-gw4live.exe has encountered a problem and
needs to close" and then the start window closes.

My PC runs the following:

Tyan Tiger S2466N motherboard with dual AMD Athlon MP 2800 processors
2G of Crucial Memory
Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates current as of 11/11/2007
ATI Radeon X1600 with current Catalyst drivers & WinXP updates

As you can see, my system more than meets the system requirements to
run the game. Obviously, this is a new enough release, the Microsoft
Knowledge Base has no entries on error solutions for Gears of War
(Games for Windows PC version). I would like to know how this can be
resolved successfully, as soon as possible, so I can play my game.

This seems to be a common error,I found this with google.(fix included)

Good luck.
