Won't start because of missing xlive.dll file

I just got a new computer with Windows 8 and when I tried to install Fallout 3 from Steam, I got this error, "The ordinal 42 could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\windows\SYSTEM32\xlive.dll". Does anyone have any ideas. I keep looking online, but I can't find anything helpful.

Download the latest Games for Windows Marketplace Client from the following link. The old GFWL that comes with the game doesn't work.
