Thats what happens when you install in on XP.

There a reason its called "Halo 2 Vista"

You either have the kernel32 from XP (non SP) or Service pack 1.

Even if you have service pack 2 you'll get the following:

The procedure entry point CreateProcessWithTokenW could not be located in the dynamic link library advapi32.dll.

The advapi32.dll's the only one that needs to be the Vista version. Anyone who's got Vista please give me a copy of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Advapi32.dll I mean, not Vista)

I have both Vista and Halo 2 Vista, but I have 256 meg's of RAM, meaning I can't install Vista!!!!

EDIT: so I found the Advapi32.dll for Vista (I got through the Error!, I'm not even on service pack!!!!!!!!!), but that needs the Vista version of NTDLL.dll, DAMNDAMNDAMN, If anyone has Vista, please please please can you send me a copy of the NTDLL.dll file, or atleast tell me the version number, ServicePack2's is 5.1.2600.2180, as with nearly every other dll for SP2.
