Re: XBOX 360
Which region are you in at the moment, and which version of Vista are yourunning? Also, I don't know much about Xbox's to be honest, however which
game are you playing?
It could be like standard DVD's - if you have a European DVD, you can only
really play it on a European DVD player or one that has the option to. Maybe
the disk you're playing with is incompatible with the web service, or the
actual Xbox itself?

Re: XBOX 360
It is a UK XBOX 360 and I guess Vista is US version(?)The strange thing is that I am not trying to play a disk, the error is
displayed as soon as the xbox tries to connect as part of setting it up as
an extender to the vista machine.
Oh well, will just have to go back to XP MCE :-(

Re: XBOX 360
Have you tried setting your local in Vista to English UK (Control Panel -set to "Classic View" > Regisional Settings)?

Re: XBOX 360
I guess you are just gonna have wait until Vista localized for UK andavailable there to support the XBOX. Right now, the only languages I am
aware of that have been localized are US English, German, Simplified Chinese
and German.

Re: XBOX 360
I have exactly the same issue.... I checked all the various locale settingsand they're all UK.
I can't find anything that says whether the Vista Beta 2 version (that I
downloaded from MSDN) is a 'US' version.... anyone know if/how you can
check ???
