Hey, how's it going?

When I try to start up Halo 2 on my computer I get this error message.

"LIVE Gaming on Windows failed to initialize. This may be because another LIVE Gaming
on Windows application (such as Halo 2 dedicated server) is running on the same machine. Otherwise, reinstalling the game may fix this problem."

Any way to fix this so I can play Halo 2?

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.

It is working. That message is an enhancement to the gameplay.

Kindly refrain from Frog-Blasting my Ventcore.

I had that problem a while back. I think I just downloaded the latest version of Games for Windows Live. Hope that helps.

Hey look its another one of these threads! Got a Halo 2 problem? Don't even bother to look at the Halo 2 threads already on here and just post a new one! I gurantee it will work every time!

By work I of course mean annoy people to death.

Hey I couldn't find a thread on page one that had anything to do with my specific problem that pertained to Halo 2 running on Windows 7 properly! I even checked the Halo PC FAQ under pinned topics!

So stop being a douche bag.

From my H2V FAQ:

I tried to update Live, but it just keeps updating and then restarting, or it never updates at all.

And yes, omega's right. This problem has been posted a million times.

I'd make my own thread but since I'm a new member I can't make a new thread yet.

Now I have just bought Halo 2 Vista and everything works but one thing. I can't crouch while walking. Is there a fix for this issue? This is preventing me from buying more copies for my friends since all of us tend to use this.

For crouching to work, I have to stop walking/running wait .5-1s then crouching will work. I hope someone has a fix!

Thanks.

EDIT: I am running the latest GFWL, fully patched H2V, my hardware is a mid-2010 15" MBP running Win 7 x64.

Exactly what I was looking for. Now I can play Halo 2 Vista again. Thanks!
