Could you post pictures of your problem?
Unfortunately, I cannot at this moments as I am in Yosemite for vacation and Halo 2 was installed on my desktop, not laptop.
I'll try and describe my problem in more detail. When I boot up the game, I can sign in to LIVE fine, can view my friends list and everything, communicate with people fine.
When I click on the LIVE menu, however, the problems start. At the LIVE main menu, there's a large box at the bottom which display stats, like total players and such (I don't recall exactly what they are, but there are four total, I think). Instead of displaying the stats, however, it just says (for example)"Total Players: Not Available," with "Not Available" shown for all four stats.
If I search for a quick match or custom game, within a few seconds I get a message saying something along the lines of "the search could not be completed because Matchmaking timed out." If I select "browse games," it displays the "searching" message on the server list, and after five to ten seconds, the "refresh" button becomes clickable, and it still says "searching" in the server list. No servers ever become visible.
If I create a custom game, or my friend creates one, and either of us invites the other, the game will sit trying to load the map for a few minutes, then display a message saying something like "the server has timed out because this party is no longer available," or something to that effect.
This is all quite irritating as I had zero problems the day before. The only variable which has changed that I can think of is that my XBL account, which I used for H2V, became the host account for an "XBL Family Account," for two of my brothers. Why this would cause these problems, I cannot fathom, but it is the only thing which has changed between the two times I tried playing.
Also what n357 means, is he was revoked from his rights of ownership of Halo 2 Vista.
No, I understood that part, but I didn't quite understand what he meant in the paragraph starting, "imagine your HD[...]."
