Check the disk, if it's not scratched badly then it's most probably something else, like a dustry thompson drive

[Shadow20002]

I have a thompson's drive, working perfectly for me.

[severd hed]

not all Thompson drives are bad..but if the disk looks clean..then it probably isnt a problem with the disc..it is more than likely an xbox issue

Clean the laser in your drive - if the warranty is expired on it, open that bad boy up and use a can of compressed air (or a compressor) to blow it out. Also, I use Q-tips to clean the laser itself and it always fixes the problems.

[Shadow20002]

Cleaning the laser in the Xbox first then.

yeah I've gotten more DDE's on Fable then all my games put together.
Funny how I can play ESPN NFL 2k5 for about 8 hours straight without a problem. But just 1 hour in Fable and I get one.

This game is starting to sound like another Morrowind.

Most likely because both (plus KOTOR) are hard drive intensive, so it needs to have the DVD read time and hard drive read/write time as high as possible and dust or a dirty lens in between will give you those errors.

You're still under warranty, just send it to MS and get it fixed, don't void your warranty when they will fix it for you for free.

If you really want to, remove the little rubber 'feet' or pads under the Xbox to get to the screws.

[Spaztic]

Here is a tutorial to open your xbox, I wouldn't reccommend it though becuase it does void the warrenty. I haven't had a problem with dde's and fable....

[Shadow20002]

Sometime graphics get choppy....but it's okie...

[batman46st]

i couldnt do it i couldnt open it, i rather get a new one but i did however take some of caspers advice i bought a can of compressed air and just open up the cd drive blew a few around got a mini chip vac used for computers cleaned the inside out. so far ive been playing fable for about 5 8 hours and well not one pop up.

Hey Batman are you related to Leo?... Oh, never mind.

[David Luckey]

I got my Fable from Best Buy ($5 off ^_^) the other night.
Havn't had one single DDE. but, the case (by the barcode on the back) says 'made in mexico' (I don't know why that is a but)
I have a problemb with my controller ports (1+2, the ones that get used alot by me and my bro, plugging and unplugging the controllers like 2x every day)
If you don't have the end plugged in -just- right, it says 'controller disconnected'
I got it in Jan of 03, it has a thompson-I have only gotten 1 DDE, ever. Like the beginning of this year.
I don't know if it is still under warranty. (hope it is)
I like to use these () things (if you can't tell)
I beat fable, it is so awesome. I only did the main quest right through. I have one bad-blam- character

[Variation-XBA]

Hey Batman are you related to Leo?... Oh, never mind.

ROFL....oh man...

Anyways.... I got a launch day Thompson and I've not had a problem with Fable once, other than not having enough time to play >_<

Man. I had that same problem. Kind of like how it would work with some disks & not others... It did that until I swapped the DVD-drives. Now mine runs like a champ!

[batman46st]

I am not skilled how the hell do u swap the cd drive i am the biggest sissy when u tell me to open my box but i did the cleaning thing and it works fine although sometimes i get scared on the load now i just save everything
