I'm noticing it on everything, even the 3D calibration screen. It used to be really intense when I put the slider to max. Now I turn the slider to max and can't really notice a change. The image moves from right to left when I push the slider up but it doesn't look 3D. I just started Mario 3D and I can't hardly notice any 3D effect in it. In Ocarina 3D, when I found a new item and Link held it up, the spinning item always looked like it was floating above the screen. That's no longer the case.x-2tha-z

You could try a program called 'HijackThis' by Trend Micro. I've used it before to remove buttons and icons that were preinstalled on my laptop (for Amazon/Ebay). It's a well respect program - Kaspersky Internet Security Support asked me to send them a report from this program once.

When you run it DO NOT DELETE EVERYTHING it lists; look for Zynga and just delete that.

I have not known monitors to have audio out in my experiences. Your probably plugging those external speakers into an audio in plug, which is why your not getting sound. What you need when using HDMI to a monitor is an adapter. (I'll explain)
Everyone is saying you have to plug the speakers into the Xbox. Guess what? You can't, so there feeding you inaccurate crap. If you had purchased the offical 360 Hdmi cables they come with said adapter. It plugs into the standard cable port above the HDMI port and channels sound. Even does optical audio...

This is what you need... good luck. And no, there isnt a way around this...

Most monitors I have seen with HDMI have an audio output. The 5 year old Benq monitor I'm using right now has internal speakers, so it has an audio output for headphones. I have two other monitors I have bought in the last few years for my 360 and PS3 (1080p with HDMI), which I have connected my speakers to using their audio out/headphone sockets.

It would help if the topic creator could post the model of monitor he is using then we'll know for sure. But considering he said 'when I plug the speakers into the monitor' and specified it is a monitor with HDMI, I think it's a safe bet he has a fairly recent monitor with an audio output.

Well, my monitor is HP w2207h...but theres only input i think...I havent tried what the other guy says. Changin to Stereo and not digital...ill try it later

From reading a product review it sounds like it doesn't have an audio output, like you and YoungSinatra25 thought.

So YoungSinatra25's right, but if you have normal PC speakers with a single 3.5mm plug then you willneed another adapter to go on the adapter shown in YoungSinatra25's post, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Male-3-5mm-Stereo-Female-Y-Cable/dp/B000I23TTE/ref=pd_cp_e_4

Assuming that you are using a standard 3.5mm audio plug for your speakers, try checking that :

>You are plugging the speakers into the audio output/headphones socket on the monitor (not the input).

>Put the volume control in the monitor's on screen display to its highest level.

>In the Xbox System Setup, check the sound is set to digital stereo (not Dolby 5.1 etc).

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"]where exactly do people store their games that the moisture is that bad as to affect the discs? I mean , I put all my games in a set of drawers and they are all fine, and I doubt even living in a warm climate will really create enough moisture for disc rot.pills4louis

If you're confused at all about this 'oxidation' thing: Any microscopic gaps between the two halves of a disc (a manufacturing flaw when they press the disc) give access to oxygen, and if moisture gets in, disc rot will inevitably occur. If it makes you feel any better, they never make a game with data that extends to the very edge of the disc. Discs aren't feeble, considering a laser can scan through a relatively scratched surface and still read the disc's content. (scratching the top of the disc is far worse, since the data is closer to the top; the bottom can at least be buffed/polished) Really, as long as you keep them vertically in a non-moist, non-extreme temp environment, they should be fine for many decades to come.

Coming to terms with the fact that nothing lasts forever is one of the hardest things about being a collector.

The main issue I have had is from warping so that the edge is higher than the middle when in the drive, Dreamcast GD ROMs were particularly sensitive to this when I had them, even games with minimal/no scratches would play ok for 10+ minutes and then the sound would start skipping and the game eventually freeze. Because of this, I actually keep my PS1 games horizontal to help them level out again after playing. Some games I have actually kept in CD cases that I have added layers of paper to level them out, which has helped over time (the disc placed in the case data side up). DVDs are usually fine; I have had one or two like this, but heating them with a hair-dryer for a few minutes whilst holding flat and leaving to cool off has helped (keep moving the hair-dryer to stop the disc getting too hot). Have you came accross this?

Not sure if I am cheating by posting songs for the credits of games, but someone's got to mention these at some point!
