The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

Alright well I've been running vista for a month or two now and I decided to re-install halo (I had a whole crap load of issues and viruses with XP so I formatted C:/ and installed a new OS). Well, I've got a good part and a bad part.

Good part is that I can ACTUALLY play the CMT made Single player revamped levels of Halo 1, but the bad part is I can't even play online! It won't let me update it because it keeps telling me that there's a problem!

I've re-downloaded the patch(es) and tried running the auto updater and the patch itself, I need major help!

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

Reinstall the game using the original disk. Also check if the disc is clean.

You need to right click on the icon and then click "Run as administrator". In Vista you are not the admin like you was on XP.

That is only if "UAC" is enabled. when it is turned off, issues go away.

he never stated if he has "UAC" on or not. So i assumed it is still on, seeing how he didn't know to run Halo as admin to get it to update.
