SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

This issue may occur when the following conditions are true:

You try to communicate with a player who is using an original Xbox console and an Xbox Live account.

Some Xbox 360 content is not compatible with the original Xbox console. Some functions are not compatible between the two game systems because the Xbox 360 functionality is more sophisticated.
