Hey everybody! I just got myself a 360 and a copy of Halo 2. I've hooked it up to XBL and stuff. I can go to marketplace and stuff like that, but whenever I get on Halo 2 to play live it:

1.Asks me to sign in
2.Asks me to type in my password

I do these things. Then:

It tells me I can continue off-line or check out some "important information on your Profile Management Dashboard."

I go there and nothing happens. I can't sign in or anything.
I have Gold, too, but it's the free trial. Please help me!!

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

It’s most likely that you haven’t enabled original Xbox games to play on your Xbox 360.

From the Xbox 360 Dashboard, go to the following:
-Systems tab
-Family settings
-Xbox live controls
-Original Xbox games
-Click “Allow”
