I like to build buildings.

I uninstalled Halo 2, and want to install again.
Now I have a problem, I can't see the install button or anything just a blue screen.

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.

I doubt you're gonna find much help. People who play H2V generally don't know anything about computers at all, and people who do know their stuff are playing better games and wouldn't touch H2V with a 10-foot pole. But usually, these things usually start out with the person having the problem posting their PC's specs, so that might be a start.

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Even I don't know what is wrong.

My guess is try updating graphic drivers.

Crappy software most likely. XD

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

Crappy installer.

Looks like a new issue popping up. Apparently the installer is in the autorun.exe file. Dumb programming if you ask me.

Either way, the game is giving you the finger, saying to buy a better game.

Updated thread.

I guess I might as well throw it away.

The gpu is more than enough to run it...

Is the disc scratched in anyway?

Also, you could try posting on http://forums.gamesforwindows.com

The disc is brand new and has no scratches.

Can't sign up on the forums for some reasons.
Seems like the forum isn't working correctly.

Something GFWL-related isn't working right? What a shock.

If you are installing Halo 2 for Windows 7 then you will need to fix the cryptographic services by doing the steps shown HERE.

Fixing the cryptographic services is usually used for fixing the Games For Windows Live client in the game, but it can help with some of the other problems.

You should also make sure that you are running the installer as administrator and make sure you have the most up to date graphics drivers for your graphics processing device.

None of those helped, maybe I need to do a system restore.

Well I don't think I need any further help, thanks for trying guys.
