well the teacher i had last year was just plain terrible

i didn't even misbehave and still managed to learn nothing,

I also got a decent grade

I'm taking my second year of german class but my previous year I did not learn a thing because I had probably the worst teacher i've ever had in any class ever even though I still did well. My teacher this year is much more challenging.

How am I supposed to take a german class when I don't even know German?!?!

I loved the long cutscenes except for when they happened via codec.

I installed this game Medieval Total War on a new laptop with XP and an intel mobile video card and whenever I try to load a campaign tutorial or campaign, during the loading screen to the campaign the the loading bar stops halfway then a smaller duplicate of the loading bar above it appears and loads really fast then the game doesn't crash but the screen goes back to the game menu and the bottom of the screen flashes deeming campaign unplayable.  It worked on my previous desktop which I believe also had XP at the time.

 I have tried changing my specs in and out of the game menu to 800x600 but it doesn't help  

 what am I supposed to do

My profile on my xbox won't connect to the marketplace,

I did use it for a little while when the ethernet cable was unplugged and when I put it back in and signed in it said my profile signed in but I test the connection and it still won't connect

it says there may be a connection problem or I need to locate my profile online and I've tried connecting many times
