I'd think it might be your internet, but you just said you use it on your internet. Are you using wireless? Cause if you are you need to go into settings, network, then change the setting to wireless. If you're using an ethernet cord change it to the Marvell one.

Try forewarding the xbox live ports. Also quit xfire when recovering profiles, since xfire can cause issues with gfwl games.

And also get the newest gfwl from gamesforwindows.com.

Also if you're internet connection is slow (like when I'm in school) you can't connect to LIVE, but it will still allow you to download the profile.

sorry for the lateness but no i am not using wireless its plugged straight into the computer since i only have 1 wire

its all on default in halo 2 settings, i've tried changing the network but nothing works, i couldn't even activate my code until i called them on the phone to activate it so i have no idea about what to do
[the game is activated now] it shows live and network up as an option but it says i need a live account.. which i have if it would let me get it..

also my internet is fine its not slow or anything

this is exactly what its saying

the profile could not be signed into LIVE.there may be a network problem or windows live id service may not be available

i know my passwords and such and my internet works like you can see

Do you have a firewall up? Sounds like that may be an issue with it blocking all GFWL services like you said. Try disabling your firewall next time you try to go online if you have one enabled.

I had a similar problem. It turns out that GFWL was trying to download an update for Halo 2 - which didn't exist on the MS Servers anymore.

After manually downloading and installing the latest Halo 2 PC update, it worked fine.

Check to be sure your parent's aren't using blocking software. Try hotspot shield, and see if it works.

I had a similar issue using a hotspot, except it blocked everything PC gaming related. Hotspotshield worked, but it was slightly laggy.

Microsoft doesn't only hate you, they hate Halo 2 Vista too. D:
