  • Xbox 360 freezing at splash screen?

    So, I have noticed the previous days that I have gotten lag some times when playing Fallout 3, however it has lasted fairly short, and I didn't think any of it.

    Today all of a sudden the game started to freeze completely (with a transparent checkered pattern). The first couple of times, I could restart the console and it would work fine for long periods of time.

    But now, I am lucky to get past the splash screen before it freezes completely.

    Most of the time it has frozen with the same transparent checkered pattern before the image even comes on the screen, but other times the screen is just black or white.

    I have gone through all the "regular" stuff, i.e. moving the box and brick to get better ventilation and trying with/without HDD, but so far nothing has worked.

    And I have still not seen a RRoD, but I am waiting in fear.

    My xbox is about 2.5 years old now, but I have never had any other problems with it, and it is a completely standard halo edition.

    I do hope that someone can help me with this, or in the worst case tell me if this is something that I will have to talk to microsoft about..

    Cheers.

  • I need some help with training my dog.?

    Hi.

    I have searched around and found a few answers, however some of them are from different situations than mine, and I wanted to post this to get answers that are applicable to my situation.

    So, I am fostering a dog for the blind association where I live. It is the 4th dog I am taking care of, but it is the first Irish Shepherd I have really ever seen. And he is about 4 months old now.

    The 3 previous dogs (that I had for about 1-2 years each) were all Labrador retrievers.

    I have quite a few 'new' problems with this one, the major one being eating of stones. Being that the snow has only recently melted here, there are a lot of stones that have still not been brushed of the street, and I find myself forcing my dog to keep his head up, and not allowing him to sniff anything until we are safely out on a grass field (where he usually finds a stone anyways).

    Also, walking on a leash is really up and down. He can walk perfectly quite a while, and then pull every witch way. I have tried to hold a treat in front of him to keep him to follow, however he easily louses interest in it. He also pulls very much after leafs that are blowing around on the ground, something I do not blame him for, being a shepherd, but makes walking on a leash difficult.

    My last big problem is people, dogs, cars and anything with wheels.

    I have had him downtown once, something that surely exhausted him, and also me.

    I don't know if this is because he is a puppy, or a shepherd, but he pulls insanely towards people, and he is wild after cars, bicycles, skateboards, etc.

    I am mostly worried about the cars and bicycles, because he can be hurt, or knock down some poor guy on his bike. He is never off leash near cars, as I live in a town, and we have quite a lot of traffic outside our house.

    I do have full control of him, however, I wish to have him walk nicely not even noticing the cars going by, and not lungingat them like he is doing now. The same regarding bicycles.

    I do hope that this is enough information to get some help with my problems.

    I should also note that we will attend a course in about a months time, however I have a lot of free time between studies, and wish to work as much with him a possible.

    And I am yet to find any toy or food that will keep his attention for longer than a few seconds, so if anyone has an idea for a good toy for a shepherd it would also be nice.

    Thank you very much!

  • US Xbox 360 in Europe..?

    Hello. I recently brought my Xbox 360 back home to Norway, and I want a new power supply for it.

    I have a friend that has a spare one, but it has an output of 175 watt, and I am uncertain if this will work.

    I have noticed that the plugg inn to the xbox on the 203 watt powersupply "bricks" are similar to the one from the US, and the ones with other watts are not the same..

    Hope that someone can help me with this.

    Thank you!

    P.S. it is to be used in Norway, if that makes any difference.
