50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

When I load Halo 2 vista, it connects to live through the Games for windows live dash, but it says "Not Avalible" when i select "LIVE", and i cant join a game. When i do campagin mode and go back and do live, it shows the server numbers but then it crashes when i hit server browser. I've tried everything including updated drivers for my XFX Geforce GTX 260 and audio and it doesnt fix it. What should I do?

EDIT: The sound is "Realtek HD Audio" Integrated in to my ASROCK M3A790GXH/128M Motherboard. The CPU is a AMD Phenom II X2 550. The OS is Vista Home Preinum 64 And here is the data i copied from the error:

I know, when I click the browser, it crashes. "Halo 2 Has Stop Working", right now you can only join games by matchmaking.

Actually, Its a Hacker thats causing the game browser to crash, he uses what is known as a "buffer overload".
His gamer tags are:
Gunmonkey80
Wazilla, is his main account

And if I'm wrong, hes still a hacker, whenever you join a game with him, the Bungie insignia is right beside his name and his armor changes colors.

Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

moment of truth.

Proof, she can't hack game browser.this one is regarding the game browser, and it seems, the "buffer overload" is not affecting him.

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.

Now with all the evidence, i am thinking the hacker is exploiting XLive.dll as some ms software can be hugely buggy (windows 9x, original xbox (people found lots of exploits for it), zune 30 clock bug, etc.)

And SEND ERROR REPORTS as then they can read how it crashes.

everyone needs to send error reports. the more they get the more likely they'll fix.
we are all experiencing one error, so it should be easiest for M$ to fix.

I cant send a error report it just crashes says "Halo 2 for windows vista has stop responding" the error message box closes and goes back to desktop. So there is no option to submit a report.

I put H2V in last night to play some Halo 2, and got very :( when the servers didn't work. I thought something was wrong on my end. Thanks forum goers for shedding some light on this.
