So, I bought Halo 2 for Vista, installed it, played it. I had to update to play over internet so I did, and POW, every frickin time I try to open Halo 2, a message pops up that says Live Gaming failed to initialize because another application, (maybe Halo 2 Dedicated Server) is using it. I though wtf, so I uninstalled it and tried to update again, same problem, uninstall, again, SAME PROBLEM! ARRRGH! I can't run Halo 2 more than once on each install. I really need some help before I wear out the CD.

I have
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86 Ghz
256 MB Ati Radeon Pro
2 GIgs RAM
250 Gig Hard Drive

Are you running a dedicated server using the same live login? Or on the same machine?

What about your router? Do you have all the needed ports forwarded?

I fixed it by having to manually going to the computer and opening Halo 2. I can't create a desktop shortcut with this game i guess. 0_o
