Hi, try doing a system restore and restore your computer to 2-3 prior.

Thanks dinesh , i already did a restore ,however i tried again going further back . no good

Maybe, another method would be to use your Win 7, disc and perform the repair function.
Did you try using system image, to rollback to an earlier time?

Hi there
Some Xboxes have been barred from MS'es servers.

Not sure if this is related to your problem - but check.

ok , i din't make it clear with 1st post its xbox 360 wireless controller reciever that has stopped . as i said it was fine yesterday. how would repair from disc help. for some reason it was disabled because a problem had been detected! is there any way to find out what the problem was

Update, i tried a reinstall no good either, it may have been because i left the controller reciever plugged in , may have to reinstall with it unplugged however wont the updates copy over in an upgrade reinstall, making it pointless to reinstall. the last thing i want to do is a clean install as it seems like using a slegehammer to crack a nut!

update . it would seem the reciever is knackered i tried it in a neighbours laptop and it didnt register at all so we think it is bust, never mind buy a new one i guess,
thanks for your input folks

In the future, it would be helpful to create a meaningful thread title than something as non-descriptive as "Major problem!"

Thanks for the advice. i kinda thought i would get a few more viewers with the title.
what would you suggest as an alternate .
