    are you sure it was that because resolution is just the sizing of the film ect..
    usually that error 21 when it has you need to call blah blah blah in around 5 languages is the xboxdash written over or renamed wrong ect... which is how it happened to one of mine once

    oh well i got that error when i accidently wrote over the wrong file in the evox update
    other than that i use enigmah switch to change regions
    someone else done that on another forum and all that did was mess up the sizing when he/she watched movies
    but i won't try it anyway just incase :)

    Ok. Just a question.
    Becuase I cant enter my xbox by ftp(it wont respond) ore by cd, how can I fix it. Im about to turn it in to a shop whos specialised on modcip and instalation. They claim the only way is to remove the chip, place another chip insted, install the nesesary files and then reinsert my old chip. I got an aladinchip in my machine now. When I asked if I can put the hardrive in my pc and install the files there, they said it was inposible.
    My question, is there away for me to fix this myself, without having to remove the chip. And please remember im a newbie in this things :)

    Thankfull for help

    ok firstly get the slayers there is a link (it's the very first post on this forum) put it on a cdrw do you know what drive you have in your xbox? i must admit i didn't do it myself but ..... i didn't have to have my chip removed either and replaced! that's rubbish unless you've damaged your chip by flashing wrongly and you was only changing resolution right?
    you just need to format the drive and reinstall apps which can be done easily with the slayers
    it's important to burn this program properly as it won't work otherwise
    just remember to activate the modchip when you boot up (press and hold for 1 second) and put the cd before you boot
    if you did mess with your bios yes they will have to remove your chip and then replace it could be you have a thompson drive and it has problems (this happened to my bro) but that was a flash problem
