The email address I originally used to login to xbox.com etc is no longer in use but I annoyingly have to keep using it as I can't see a way of changing it. When I have tried with my new address it takes you to the start up screen where you pick a gamertag etc. Obviously mine is already in use. Is there a way around this that anyone is aware of?
 
Does any of this help?

Switch Your Windows Live ID
When you sign up for Xbox LIVE, you associate your Xbox LIVE account with a Windows Live ID. You use this Windows Live ID to manage your account, recover your profile, and sign in to services like Windows Live Messenger on your console.
You can switch to another Windows Live ID if you no longer want to use the one that is currently associated with your Xbox LIVE account. When you switch, all information about your Xbox LIVE account moves to the new Windows Live ID. Your Gamertag and all profile information remain the same.
Note

If you are signed up for Zune Marketplace, Zune Social, or Games for Windows – LIVE with the same Windows Live ID, they will also move to the new Windows Live ID. After the switch, you will use the new Windows Live ID to sign in to those services.
Windows Live features and services, like Windows Live Messenger contacts and Windows Live Spaces, will remain with your old Windows Live ID and will not be transferred.
When you change your Windows Live ID, any Microsoft Points on your old Windows Live ID will be transferred to the new Windows Live ID. Other services may also transfer. For information about which services will move with your Xbox LIVE account, see Checking Your Billing Information, later.
Before changing the Windows Live ID on your Xbox LIVE account, gather the following information:
The Windows Live ID and password currently associated with your Xbox LIVE account. This is referred to as the current or old Windows Live ID on the screen during the process.
The Windows Live ID and password you want to move your Xbox LIVE account to. This is referred to as the new Windows Live ID on the screen.
Note

The new Windows Live ID must not be associated with an existing Xbox LIVE, Games for Windows – LIVE, or Zune account.
To change the Windows Live ID associated with your Xbox LIVE account:
Go to My Xbox and open your Xbox LIVE profile.
If you aren't already signed in, sign in first and then open yourgamer profile.
Select Manage Account.
Select Windows Live ID.
Select Change Windows Live ID.
Follow the steps to change your Windows Live ID.
Note
For security reasons, you can switch IDs only once every 30 days.
 
There is something in the new update about this. You will be able to fix it from the 11th if ic1male suggestion doesn't help.
