How come this message has been popping up when trying to DL demos and videos? I checked my parental setting and it says all content is allowed. Sometimes it won't even let me DL stuff for rated T games (It won't let me DL the Frontlines demo). I used to be able to download anything fine.

Well it depends what your age is set from the email address you are using for Xbox Live.

it means your account is under 18 thus not an adult account, meaning you can't DL M or T rated games.. I wish the mods would make a sticky about this so many of these threads daily.

What's that supposed to mean? I said I already looked in the parental settings.

Maybe Microsoft is trying to parent you? They obviously don't think your old enough to be downloading some stuff. :P

That message comes up because the Windows Live ID thats assigned to your gamertag is under 18 and is classified as a Child Account. And yes, even if you are 17 and able to buy the rated M and T games yourself, you will still have this problem as long as you have a Child Account

I don't think there is a way to assign a new .net passport (hotmail account) to the gamertag. However there may be a way.

If so make an account with a fake Date of Birth making you old enough for all games. :)

Good luck.
