[quote name='cruzincontrol'][quote name='WildWop']Also, everyone that has a Hotmail (or MSN Passport) should link it to their XBL account. This allows you to monitor your buddy list using MSN Messenger, and eliminating the need to occupy your Xbox by signing on.
The MSN Messenger component can be set up to provide alerts when people sign in (like in DeadAim, if anyone uses that), send you an invite to a game, or sign out. It's very useful, especially while you're surfing the boards.[/quote]
I have hotmail but that messenger was messing up sumthing with my computer is this the only way to contact clan members?[/quote]
Sadly it's not really there for communication purposes -- more of a monitoring tool. I hope in a future release they allow you to send messages to XBL friends through MSN. For now, it just tells you who is online and what game they are playing. If there is an invite to play a game it will tell you that too.
Did you download the newest MSN client? It's more stable then the one that comes with windows.
