If I install the 1.05 update, the 1.08 update wont install and vice versa. UAC is disabled and I exit out of my AV/firewall when installing. The 2 links are screenshots of the failed patch. The installer decides Halo is "up to date" and kills the installation.

When I ran Halo before it didn't run all to well. FPS was solid, but gameplay was slow, laggy and had load spikes. I was running with one of the patches missing, like I had a choice^_^ (I reinstalled twice with each patch) there was no difference in gameplay.

First off I need both patches to take. Then I can worry about getting Halo to run smoothly. Anyone have a similar problem getting a patch to take?

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.

Try patching to 1.08 from a fresh installation.

I have, both ways. More then once starting with 1.05 and 1.08. I've also tried finding each patch standalone but no go.

I auto-updated and the 1.08 patch was applied. I found out patch 1.05 was bad and breaks upgrading so I should be fine. Set Halo CE in XP SP2 mode and gameplay is now solid. All's well that ends well I guess'
