    Problems changing the email address linked to my Live ID.

    I no longer have access to the mail address linked to my Live ID, due to changing my ISP, which is linked to my gamertag.

    I've been trying for a few days now to change the address on the live accounts page but keep getting the message,

    "There's a temporary problem with the service. Please try again. If you continue to get this message, try again later."

    Does anyone know if this is possible to do, or should I just make a new Live ID with the email I want to use and then change that Live ID to the one linked to my gamertag?

    Seems silly making a new ID when I should just be able to change my address.

    It should be possible to do, I guess there is just an error on the site which is preventing people from changing.

    Keep trying for a few days and then contact support if you still can't do it. It'd be stupid for them not to allow e-mail changes!

    Re: Problems changing the email address linked to my Live ID.

    Still getting the same error message. I emailed them twice during the week with no reply.

    Created a new Live ID with my new email address and I think it's easy enough to change the Live ID linked to my gamertag.

    Did not really want to make a new Live ID, hey ho, it's done now.
