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

Since Halo 2 is dieing real fast, a lot of people are probably going to get the PC port.
However, H2PC has 1 issue on 7. When you load the game, you get "Live gaming on windows failed to initalize". There is a fix though:

1.
Download the latest H2V update
Download GFWL 3.2
Install them both

2. Navigate to Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2

3. move "activate.exe" to another location. (it can be anywhere, preferably the desktop)
4. Start up halo2.exe (which is in the Halo 2 folder)
5. Sign onto GFWL
when prompted for a product key from GFWL, enter it as such.
After entering the Product key, you will see Live and Network still grayed out.
Close H2V.

6. Bring "activate.exe" back into the Halo 2 folder.

7. Initiate Startup.exe
you will be prompted for a key, enter it, then enjoy H2V!
