Subject: Invalid code for my Game?

How am I supposed to write my signature here!?

Well I bough Halo 2 Vista today and I joyfully tried to insall it, while doing that - this screen pops up: "Invalid code, retype". In other words; my newly bought game has an invalid key and I'm sitting here hopelessly without any ideas how to solve this. I've tried looking for other keys online (even though I shouldn't) but without success.

Do I need a new copy or are there other solutions?

Maybe you typed it wrong? If that's not it, then you'll probably have to buy another copy.

That's Halo 2 for you.

There probably isn't much you can do.

I had this problem once before while installing Halo 2 on my computer. I simply called Microsoft support and they 'reset' my product key, I guess, and it worked after that.

The call did not cost me any service/support fees and it was a toll free number.

Cheers

Done all this..They told me there was nothing they could do. Now I'm stuck with an overpriced paperweight.

You need to get on their case, keep on it and go higher up the chain. Be firm yet polite.

They'll buckle eventually even if it's just to get rid of you.

Their exact words were "Halo 2 is no longer supported. I'll direct you to support.microsoft.com; sorry I couldn't help you"
At this site, there is a topic of exactly my problem. No official help given.

Simply put, a brand new halo 2 vista doesn't work past title screen.

They're quite capable of helping you, they're just not bothered if you don't make a fuss.

Can't the retailer help you?

Bought off ebay, hopefully a quick message to them will benefit me.

Ah. They've probably used up all of their activations for the key, assuming it's a legit copy of the game.
