Have you tried deleting the profile from the game and re-downloading it? Just a thought. Also you might want to try and make another silver account and see if you can play through that.

You are a victim of the POS live interface. There is a bug that if a profile was created prior to activation (f you MS) it will create a jacked up profile.

Go in and delete all the profiles and reboot, then recreate.

LIVE sucks.

Yeah try what BlazingFox said...if that doesn't work a good 'ol reinstall of H2V may be in the future for you :p

Trust me that's nothing. I've already had to reinstall Vista like 4 times because it is so not a good OS...

Disable all of the network adapters, this is a problem that affects all live games, not just h2v.

Yea. Also Today I got that error for the first time, I started freaking out cause I had to help with Sierra and I couldnt get on live.

If that stuff doesnt work, and you are using a DSL modem try un pluging its power coard for a minute or so and plug it back in to let it get a new ip address.

Just a chance. Though it worked for me.

What do you mean disable ALL of network adapters? This would certainly prevent you from reaching Live. Clarify.

Wakeboy: Your saying that when you got the error you reset your DSL modem(by powering it off and leaving it off for 1 minute, forcing it to get a new IP when it starts) , and that let you get in?

I know this sounds funny but is the date right on your computer. I know for a fact that if your date is wrong it wont let you sign in.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

MS Support didn't help me with Halo 2 at all.
