what you are doing wrong is using the "Pimped" version. These are warez kiddy versions that have all kinds of things intergrated into it that the XBMC team never intended to be with it. As you have just found out they come bundled with skins that often don't work. XBMC will not support you on these "Pimped" , "Fedr" or ther such completely unofficial releases. Your best bet is to use a version that XBMC suggests "The T3CH" builds" which can be found in all the usual places.

I would not ask on the XBMC forums about these either as the XBMC team will offer you not help with them in the slightest.

So in conclusion either get T3CH build or compile yourself from CVS!

anyway i found XBMC-CVS_2005-09-12-T3CH removed the xbmc which was on the xbox, installed the new, and i am still getting the same error ?

thx

have you copied across a different skin to use withit aswell?

XBMC'S skinning engine has been updated and means skins created before a certain date(cant remember when exactly) cannot be used anymore without be updated to be compatible withthe new skinning engine.

project mayhem comes with the T3CH builds

when you are loading XBMC click in both the left and the right thumb stick

then press A to restore to defaults, this should sort your problem

don't worry about that: Q drive is basically a virtual drive that XBMC creates - it is correct that you are getting that message!!!
