All of a sudden its not recognizing anything I have plugged into the USB ports. It says both the camera and the wifi network adapter aren't connected when they are hooked up properly. Any advice? I played some games I hadn't touched in awhile and I downloaded a bunch of updates for them. This is so aggravating.

I've never heard of that before. Oh well. Time to call MS support. Lucky me I have the extended warranty. GDMFI@MS

Yeah, I'm not saying that's the problem but it does happen. I've had some computer's at my work that were brand new and all the USB port's were dead and wouldn't recognize any hardware plugged into them.

I had to unplug the system then plug it back in and it recognized everything. Evidently turning it on and off wasn't doing the trick.

Whenever I start up a game with something plugged into the console prior to that,  the console wouldn't recognize the device..I simply unplug and reconnect whatever it was and it works fine.

MS support is not bad, although it can be frustrating at times. Xbox Live was randomly disconnecting me after working flawlessly for 6 months. I had to call MS 3 times before I got somebody competent. The first 2 times they just suggested stuff (get new Ethernet cable) to get me off the phone. The 3rd time I actually spoke with somebody who helped and stayed on the phone with me and tried several different things. She finally suggested I swap out my modem, which fixed it. But it was still brutal getting to that solution. I was probably on the phone, counting hold times, for over 2 hours altogether.

That would lead me to believe the drivers weren't loaded.

  Oh crap this is not system wars...

But i posted in a fourm that someone made who said 360 breaks if u leave it on for more than 3 hours... i said it doesnt

I had to 360s break... first 1 fixed within a week., 2nd 1 is never fixed even after 7 phone calls and sending emails...

I need another 360 but i am unhappy i still had 1 month of warranty left...

Lol i still have the games and stuff but lol

Maybe its because i am from scotland?
