Hello majidhirad, welcome.

Give this a shot, the xlive.dll actually comes in the 'Games for Live' package installer. The download link is below:

1. Download the package
2. Right click the package and choose 'Run as Administrator'
3. Install the application and restart your computer afterwards
4. Try and run the game

Let us know if this works,

Thanks!
