Buy Halo 1 its alot better. Already have it? Get an xbox and get the other games. Their multiplayer sucks but overall (overall being everything but Halo 2) they have reasonably good campaigns. Halo 1 is still better though.

Did you upgrade from vista, or did you perform a complete install?

Im having the same problem. Windows 7 64 bit.

Something smells fishy...

It might be the that H2V has problems with some Windows 7 64 bit operating systems.

Maybe you could try a Windows 7 32 bit OS and see if H2V installs.

Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. They call me the Fruitloop from Jupiter.

Why don't you just use Troubleshoot Compatibility and play it on Vista?




Just throwing it out there... Not sure what would happen.

Still nothing :(

Compatibility mode rarely works for other games and never works with H2V.

System specs would be helpful before we can determine if it's the game (very likely) or the fact your PC can't run it.

Oh, that's just the enchanced gameplay.

You want help? Toss the game into a wood chipper and go buy Halo 1.

There is all the help you need. :)

I have Halo 1...

Halo 2 Vista does not like the taste of mobile graphics card. We have had that problem in the past, nor does it like 64-bit OS'es. It looks like you've run out of luck.

Tell me, this laptop...is it using a GT 540m? If so then you will never be able to get Halo 2 running.

Throwing this one out here but have you updated graphics card drivers? Update Halo 2 separately too, download the patches then patch it like that.

...With switchable graphics? I have a feeling the GT 555m will probably not allow you to play the game, the GT 540m had a problem due to being able to switch graphics cards, Halo 2 detects the integrated one and refuses to run. Got a gut feeling it's probably the same for the 555m
