Go to Inital setup and that will start u up all over again
No, the setup for xbox live is a fairly simple and straight forward process.
No there are only a few stages.
I got the same problem and called Xbox support and Windows live support. It ended up being that the servers for the payment area were down, making you unable to do what ever you were doing. Nothing is wrong with your xbox or account, but the servers are down.
Try this and see if it helps goodluck http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox/default.htm
Firstly connect your Xbox 360 to the internet via wireless or wired. When you have done this, you will need to sign up for Xbox live, this is on the dashboard, something called join xbox live. Go through the setup and you will you will be live. You will need a Xbox live gold membership to be fully online.
First you need to connect your xbox to your PC or laptop. Then test your connection.After if it is successful you will need a credit card or xbox live subscription card for a gold membership.
They charge you by month or year depending on how you setup your account.
Yes you can, although you have to have the correct xbox360 update/patch.
All you have to do is create the account and it automatically becomes what is call an Xbox Live Silver Account. You don't need any credit card or subscription card.
There is no Xbox Live Platinum. If you have a card marked with it, it is obviously a fake. If you got it off of ebay, I would sue. (JK no-one would win due to fraud) But the only paid subscription for live is Gold. Whoever tells you otherwise is wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!
the easiest way to get Xbox LIVE is from the dashboard, and hovering over the big XBOX LIVE grey square thing. Pressing A from there usually takes you straight to the buy Xbox live setup menu thing - where you can choose whether to buy LIVE for 1-12 Months depending what you want (1 month for around £5 - 12 for £39.99) A
Nothing is wrong with ANY of the services, I've attached a related link below that show all of Microsoft's Xbox Live statuses.
