My parents bought me a laptop for college and they got it pre-installed with Vista. So I was installing Halo PC, gets to 47% and I get this:

"Halo Setup encountered a disk error while writing to the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\maps\d20.map. Make sure the hard disk is not full, and that the file is not in use."

WHAT I REALLY CAN,T SETUP, IS HALO2 VISTA TO PLAY ON LIVE. IT KEEPS ASKING ME TO SUBMMIT A PLYER PROFILE, AND ONCE I DO IT IT DOES NOTHING.

Check the disk for dirty fingerprints or something, clean it and try to install again. If it gets stuck again on 47%, the disk is damaged.

Stupid parents let their stupid children play games that are rated M when they should be playing Big Birds Spelling Adventures

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

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.

My Halo 2 disc errors when copying a map file in Vista, and the disc is spotless. I think it has something to do with Vista.

Did you try updating your system via Windows Update?

Halo PC and Vista are 100% compatible.

In the early days, there was an issue that Vista didn't think it was, however there was a very quick hot-patch to solve this. It was purely an issue of Vista incorrectly reporting that it wasn't.

So your error isn't a generic "Vista" thing, it would be a problem with your hardware/software.

Halo PC even worked with Windows Vista RC1 and it works fine on Windows Vista
