I have a brand new Xbox 360 elite.

- because i have played the 360 already when i started to sign in on live, it says it would overright my game tag, would my 30 odd game point go aswell?

Yes, 48h if you sign up via the xbox (in account management, I believe)

- when i go to xbxo live i go into a few pages and once i enter my email address and password it says theres a problem and wont go any further.

Under what blade/page?

- how hard is it to connect my xp laptop SP2 to my xbox? any help or tips, do i need use my usb dongle?

Depends what you want to do - If it's connection sharing, there are instrructions everywhere. If it's media sharing, then you have to do it via a router, I believe (using media player library sharing)

- because i have played the 360 already when i started to sign in on live, it says it would overright my game tag, would my 30 odd game point go aswell?

No, those points will go, IIRC.

- If i can stream then theres no need but how do i put music on the xbox?

You can stream (media player on the pc, under options/sharing, you should see your 360 on the network)

Enter the scratchcard number under account management on xbl, they'll then dl next time you pop forza in.

Wow - some great choices there.

BTW, there's a thread on here with everyones gamertags. Add a bunch if you want regular games - esp COD4 (see that fight club thread).
