What's up with this? I get the game up and running and then after about 1 minute of the game running it says the game has encountered a problem and shut down. I have nothing running at this point, and my computer is brand new. I just got it 2 months ago.

Also, when I go to run the game it says, The game is not fully installed, what's up with that?

and since it seems lots of people need help. I just made it official, sticky please? lol

An error has probably occurred at some point during the installation process. Because of this the game may not proceed beyond a certain point. A suggestion would be to access the Add and Remove Programs and select uninstall. Afterwards, restart your computer and try to once again install the program and also making sure that your firewall is set to medium or low to allow it to complete successfully. If this issue still persists you may perform a system recovery, which will hopefully clear any problems that you may have been previously encountering. To perform a system recovery using the Windows Vista operating system, you may find out more information here. If this is in fact related to the system itself, you may visit the Windows Technical Support page here.

Okay I uninstalled it turned off everything, Even the virus protection (and firewall). I then cleaned my registry, restarted my computer and installed again. I have the same problem. It comes up for 30 seconds and then shuts back down saying it's improperly working here are my system spec.s

If you're wondering why no one is helping you, it's because you keep bumping your thread.

Well maybe someone could help me so i'd stop bumping my thread.. My question seems more important than a map editor.... I just want my game to work, I paid for it.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

What kind of Vista are you using? That doesn't look like the Vista I'm familiar with.(referring to image) Also, as for specs, we need the info listed on your DirectX Diagnostic Tool. To access this, go here:
Start>Run>dxdiag>OK

He posted his specs and that setup should be fine. The only thing thats missing is the video card, what kind is it? At any rate he correctly uninstalled and re-installed and that is not the issue. So the only thing left I can think of is to make sure you have the latest drivers for the video and sound card. After that he needs to contact microsoft.

Do not bump posts and do not double post. It takes better then a half day for posts on these boards to drop to the second page so there is not a need to. This game is new and a lot of us don't know how to fix the issues yet, nor is it our responisbility to do so. Continuing to bump and double post will only get the thread ignored or flamed.

The install program just hangs... doesn't do anything but continue to show the "Installing" window....

So first I get Shadowrun which installs fine, but won't work online at all... and NOW Halo 2 won't even install. GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE ROCKS!!!!

This is the first time EVER that a game would not even run it's own install program. Not to mention, I can't even get the product id from the game because you have to START the game to get it... so no Microsoft support for me. LMAO. That's the last $50 I waste on another GFWL game.

My specs in case someone knows whats wrong

Vista Ultimate 64
Radeon X1800 512 MB
2 GB DDR 2 1066 Ram
Asus P5k Deluxe (p35 chipset)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

Windowsblinds is basically a program which allows alternate themes to be used for Windows XP.

Does anyone know why I am unable to install this game by the way? Has anyone else experienced what I was talking about a few posts up?

Where it doesn't show the game in The Uninstall thing? I had that the first time I installed it. What I had to do, was delete all the files manually, and then cleaned out the registry.

Haha well I never had any problems before with it with any other game, but I guess Vista + Windowsblinds + Computer Games doesn't work all too well yet.

You'd be surprised of all the things window blinds messes with and could be installing when you install it.
