Hi,

i really like the UyenBox3.1 sin but it seems that the skin dont likes me.

Sometimes (2 of 3 times) my XBox freeze at the mainmenu, sometimes while the screensaver pops up. Also with preview videos. They are playing for 10-20 sec, after that: fsod.

Same problem when i play a game and want to go back with the IGR feature of my X2 bios.
I dont have any problems with other skins, only with UyenBox3.1...

Thank you in advance!

btw
I tried to use another version of UyenBox3.1 but no luck. Always the same problem.

That's very odd.

What version Xbox do you have? What mod chip? Which X2 BIOS?

I can't imagine why this is happening.

XBox V1.0
PC BioXX with X2 4976.02.
I'm booting from my F Drive with mXm as my dash.

Well, the 1.0 Xboxes are pretty solid.

If it could be pinpointed to a specific video... but this is very strange indeed.

It appears completely random.
It's very strange... Too bad, UyenBox3.1 looks so sweet.
Oh well, then i have to use Generator again.

Anyway
Thank you very much.

The only thing I can think of is that it's related to your hard drive.... you could try putting another copy of the skin in there, then delete the oroginal copy.

Of course, that's if it's related to platter errors.

Wow, you're very quick.
I tried to use different copys. But still no luck.

Now it's getting ugly. When i pass the Matrixstyle mXm loading screen i only get a black screen. No FTP connection, no input... arrgh

Well, gradual degradation sounds like a hard drive issue of some sort.

You can still boot DVD, right?

Just to be safe, install X-Selector as the dashboard and boot up your dashboards through that.

Yes, i can use the DVD drive.

After 20+ reboots i managed to change the skin from notworking UyenBox3.1 to Generator again.
Do you really think that i have problem with my harddrive?
'cause all other skins are working without a problem. Same with all my games and apps.

Well, it seems odd that it's not working.

Perhaps the skin was somehow corrupted? Do all the WMVs play OK on your PC?

Seems like alot of people are running this skin, to I'd think it wasn't MXM or the skin specifically.

How's it working for everybody else?

As i said before. I tried another copy of this skin. In fact i tried 3 differents.

>Do all the WMVs play OK on your PC?

Do you mean my preview videos? Yes, they work without a problem on my PC or with any other skin in mXm.

The content of the skinfolder.
Maybe something is wrong or missing:

Try turning off the music. UyenBox (in all its forms) displays the track name, and it would lock up for me (I wrote it), until I cleaned up some strangely named songs and soundtracks.... just a thought.

Yes! Now it works like a charm.

Thank you oswald for this great skin and of course thank you BenJeremy for mXm and you're patience.
