Right guy, with the wrong name. But still...

Elite Johnny the Hedgehog, awaiting for duty!

I've managed to install Halo 2 Vista (I've hears that it also works for XP) and everytime I run the game, it decreases my screen resolution and shows this error message:

"Live Gaming on Windows failed to initialize. This may be because another Live Gaming on Windows application (Such as the Halo 2 dedicated server) is running on the same machine. Otherwise, reinstalling the game may fix the problem."

I've tried to reinstall the game and Still shows the same error! Now, reading the error slowly... I understand that the only problem might be the Halo 1 Game and the Halo Trial Game that I have. I don't know if I should uninstall them...

Can anyone help me out? Please?

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.

Well, now the only problem I've got is to get a Activation Code. Does anyone know any good Halo 2 Keygen (Virus Free, in download or torrent, but I prefer in download and I don't mind the time it takes to get it, I've got all the time in the world!)

Can anyone help me? Unless you guys can give me a code.

Go to the store and buy the -blam!- game then you'll have your code

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Normally I'd go on a rant about how you should buy the game and support the developers, but I'm a firm believer that if the developers refuse to support a game with more problems than the Bundy family, said game doesn't deserve to make a profit for the company.

However, support for pirating is not allowed on these boards so I can't help you.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

You're probably already going to get banned, but let me give you a piece of advice for the future. Generally speaking, it is a bad idea to ask for pirated keys on the website of the developer of the game. They tend not to like it. And the rest of us who paid for these game tend to not like subsidizing your piracy. Grow up, get a summer job or something and make your own way in life.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Go ahead and buy it, its only 20 bucks: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168321162 18&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Software+-+ PC+Games-_-Microsoft-_-32116218

Also, keygens wont get you on live with H2V as they ban you.

Hum... hehehe... Ups! Well, if it doesn't allow me to play multiplayer, then that's ok. I was wishing I could play Campaign one more time before summer ends.

I can't imagine why you would wanna play H2V instead of Halo 3. H3 takes a lot more skill to play.

...Hey! I think I figured out why you'd rather play H2V than Halo 3!

You got me, when I was a bit younger (Like 12 or 14 years old, I had a Xbox and the Halo 2 game) but because of constant use, or something like that, the Xbox broke down and me and my lil' bro became sad for losing a game like that. That's why I wanted at least to play Halo 2 campaign one more time.
