Question
I am new to Xbox Live and am trying to "Chat" with friends who
playing. I can hear them but they can't hear me. Also, when
the screen speaks of "administrator set too strict", what does
that mean? Thanks!

Answer
Hey Matt.

Really sorry dude.  I could have swore I answered this, but my system told me that I didn't.  You may have already got this message once.  If you did, now you know why.

I'm afraid I can't really help much with XBox Live.  I haven't had a chance to get on it myself yet.  But, I don't think it's XBox Live that's the problem.  This may sound silly, but check to make sure that the switch about half way down of your headset is set to green, not red.  If it's red, then it mutes your speakers.  That would explain you hearing them, but them not hearing you.  I use mine to hook up to my phone so I can talk hands-free.  I know, I coulda got blue-tooth, but I'm cheap ;P.  With the "administrator set too strict," I have no idea.  That just sounds crazy.  

Like I said, I thought I sent this message way back when you asked, but something happened.  I apologize if you didn't get it.  Also, I apologize if you got this once before.  My system keeps saying I didn't answer it.  Before it's over, you may get another message.  Things get really crazy around Christmas, even the interenet.

Hoping all goes well with you and yours,
Silver

I can help with basically any game problem you have. From the old NES to the Wii. From the PS1 to the PS3. From Xbox to Xbox 360. I’m not really up to date on PC games, so I may or may not be much help on the PC area. I know a lot about games, but I can’t promise that I’ll know the answer to every question. I can promise, however, that if I don’t know the answer, I’ll research to the best of my abilities to find it. I can help in basically any area of gaming, but here are some specifics ~|| FAQs || Cheats || Question and Answer || Data (Information on when an upcoming game will be released) || Action Replay, Gameshark, and Codebreaker Codes || Playing an import game on your American PS2 without modding it (this is my favorite area to help with!) ||~ If your question doesn’t fall in these categories, please don’t hesitate to ask it anyway. I just gave a quick overview of what I’m good at. If you have a question, I will do my best to answer it or find information about anything. Please leave positive reviews if I helped.

Experience

I've been playing games ever since I was little. I would always get upset when I would get stuck and I couldn't find anyone to help me. I never want someone going through that. I've been helping people on YouTube recently, and I wanted to branch out so I can help more people. I've played countless SNES games from way back when, dominated the PS2, and now I'm conquering the new generation of Wii's, PS3's and 360's. I know a lot about games. If I don't know the answer, I know many places where I can get basically any information on almost any game.
