ok heres my problem and how i think it happened...
when i turn on my xbox with no game in the drive it flashes wot looks like an updater panel then that dissapears and all that is left is the green background of the msdash...
games still work if they are in the dvd drive when it is powered up
i have tried reinstalling the softmod (i did have UXE installed) by replacing the /fonts folder and the evox dash file and that didnt fix it...
so then i reformated the whole hdd using 'xboxhdm' so now all i have on c: is the UXE evox dash and the /font folder
..and it still is stuffed
the thing is all games are in french as i changed the xbox language to french before it stuffed up for the hell of it.... is this possibly y it is stuffed?
and if the whole HDD was reformated then shouldnt the language be reset.... and becoz it is still french does this mean that the language is stored elsewhere...
even tho my language problem is off topic... i think it may be the contributing factor to the xbox's problem
oh yeh... and how do i fix the xbox

btw i dont have the xbox dash files anymore as they got deleted in the reformating of the xbox HDD
all help is muchly appreciated
