Just had to post a note to say how impressed I am with this site. I only discovered it a few days ago and I have to confess that I am a TOTAL non-starter with computers...but very keen and willing to learn! :D I have asked for - and received - prompt help in partitioning my hard drive although I decided after sucessfully doing it, to go back to normal coz other stuff confused me! Still, I am upgrading to a faster processor and bigger hard drive in the very near future so will be carrying out the procedure again (I hope) Just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support and I will be recommending the site to all my friends - peachyglint1

Microsoft on Wednesday said some Xbox 360 owners are reporting problems with the new video game console that debuted in North America earlier this week.
"We have received a few isolated reports of consoles not working as expected," Microsoft spokeswoman Molly O'Donnell told Reuters in a telephone interview. Enthusiast Web sites such as Engadget.com and Xbox-scene.com, as well as Microsoft's own Xbox Web forum, carried postings on Wednesday from Xbox 360 owners reporting that some systems had crashed during regular play as well as during online game play using the Xbox Live service.
Problems included screens going black and the appearance of a variety of error messages. "So, the Xbox 360's been available for, what, 15 minutes, and already the crash reports are streaming in," a poster on Engadget said. The sites did not say how widespread the problem was.
O'Donnell, who declined to say how many reports the company had received, said calls represent a "very, very small fraction" of units sold. The number of calls was not unexpected, she said. "With any launch of this magnitude, you're bound to see something happening," she said.
O'Donnell said the best way to resolve the issues is to call 1-800-4MY-XBOX for trouble shooting. If that does not solve the problem, she said, Microsoft will repair or replace the unit.
