  1. Hey guys, those of you who have been kind enough to add me to their friends list (and those who haven't but wouldn't mind to) just so you know, i really want to get into the old live multiplayer this weekend as the missis is working sat-mon so i can get some quality time in.

    I appreciate some invitations and suggestions to any games you guys want to try out... i'm loaded at the mo, so can pop out and get any games i'm missing.


  2. Thanks for the framework :)

     

    I now have the problem i anticipated, it now says the 360 isnt connected to the computer half way through instaling, but if i connect it to the computer (not the modem which i had been doing) then on the 360 media center option it obviously wont proceed as its not connected to the internet. Only solution i see, i need a router to actually make a network rather than playing around with wires here and there =/

     

    I duno, its all too confusing for me.

     

    As far as i know, the xbox doesn't have to be online for the media center stuff to work, just be part of a local network with the media center pc. As long as you can connect the pc to the xbox and they communicate ok, no internet connection should be needed


  3. The .NET Framework is a library of reusable classes created by microsoft to aid developers in creating windows and web applications. It needs to be installed on any machine that uses software created using the framework. The easiest way to get it would be to run windows update on the pc you're trying to get working. The framework should be one of the updates listed.

     

    There are actually 2 supported versions of the framework that can co-exist on the same machine, version 1.1 and version 2.0, I imagine that the version you require is 1.1 if no specific version was mentioned as it is the most commonly used version at the moment. If you have no download limits i would recommend getting both anyway.

     

    If you can't find it on windows update, search the microsoft site for the redistributable (not the SDK)


  4. the first port of call for these problems is usually to check the disk for errors and then defragment as one possibility could be a faulty/fragmented hard drive. If you have multiple (physical) hard drives, try and keep and eye out to see if the problem only occurs on one of them.


  5. SI there a way you can isntall on just your user account, so that when my mum logs into her account (on the pc, not on msn) she still gets 7.5?

    I want WLM back, i really liked it and skins just aren't the same.

     

    PM me both you and your mum's login email and i'll invite you both, then install the beta and everyone is happy


  6. I've got 19 invites available to whoever would live to use the beta messenger. I don't personally like it but it's always nice to try out the latest thing!

     

    If you want one, please PM me and i'll send out the invite when i get home tonight.

     

    Remember, if anyone else uses the PC for messenger, they will have to be registered to use the beta too or they won't be able to use messenger at all (without messing about anyway).

     

    I forgot to mention, when you PM me, please give me the email address you use to sign into msn messenger or i can't invite you. Sorry for the confusion

  8. Weird, it said i could ship to the UK...

     

    It's just a generic shipping front end that has no context to what it is shipping. Bad design by Microsoft really, allowing us no US guys to order them, even though the chances are we won't get any.

     

    This is similar to the deal that they have where they ship out little lego-like superheros to us programmers to attend their e-seminars and webcasts. I attend them quite a lot but they never send me the goods as it says US only (even though i can enter my shipping details).


  9. Yes, really useful for those who are too lazy to check the marketplace on a regular basis.

     

    Why do you come to this site? I come here to read news on upcoming Nintendo products, things that could appear months if not years in the future. All i was asking for was a website that does similar for the xbox live arcade titles. Am i also being lazy when i look at the release list of games on this site? Should i instead always go to a shop and see what's been released that day?
