  • When you try to run Halo 2 in Vista or Windows 7 get error "Gaming Live on Windows failed to Initialize"

    Hello

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, at which point my Halo 2 Vista stopped working, give me a message "Live Gaming on Windows failed to Initialize."  The game would not start it gave me this error message.

    So, after reading a few suggestions and try to uninstall about everything, I started with a fresh new install of Windows 7.  The first and the only thing installed on the PC was Halo 2 Vista, but I got the SAME message.  I tried to update the game, all of the updates of Windows and Windows Live for Windows, but the game does not start.

    In addition, I tried http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo2/, however when the aid application and entering my product ID on the box it says there is a problem even if it is the same product ID, I turned on the game with.

    I am very angry at this point.  I really want to have to dual boot, especially as Halo 2 Vista lists as being Compatible with Windows 7.

    Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck and that's a bad system or storage (which is integrated into the system board). We purchased about 200 of these tablets for our school and saw about 30 of them give this error message or show the symptom that the light next to the camera turns on and stays on and nothing never seems on-screen.

    For those who this happened under guarantee, the only solution was to replace the motherboard - a part Dell keeps in stock, if you don't have an extended warranty. I tried several times and they never have a source for me to buy new.

    We were extremely disappointed by the product and not buy an another Dell Tablet in the future.

    Hi jonpweaver2

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    Check the steps below to solve your problem.

    Step 1:

    Put the computer in a clean boot (namely if any third-party software hinders the process)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 ---> how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    (Note: after find you the problem causing the program, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup)

    Step 2:

    You are able to see the USB device in Windows Explorer? If you are, then proceed as follows:

    Open the Device Manager e plug USB cable and look for the entry because it e right click and uninstall the USB device and then restart the computer and check.

    Step 3:

    Run an online Scan of your PC as well as your USB device for malware:

    If you want to scan your computer for malware and potentially unwanted on a Web site, please use the Windows Live OneCare safety scanner.

    Windows Live OneCare safety scanner is an online service that lets scan you your computer to protect yourself, clean and operate at its best.

    It happens most of the time you.
    The webcam of my T110 fails to initialize and a message appears saying that webcam could not initialize, please check the device and restart the program (Web camera application) or the computer!

    Other times, it works, but after a pop up appears on the bar by saying that an unsupported USB device has been detected and could not be installed tasks!

    It is boring! Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.
    Manuel Quinaz

    Hello

    Seems that the software of webcam has stopped working.
    I think that you should first try to reinstall this software.

    First remove the software of the webcam of the system.
    Then clean the system and the registry using CCleaner!
    Reboot the laptop twice and run CCleaner several times to make sure that everything has been properly cleaned.
    Download the software of the webcam from the European driver Toshiba page, and then install it.
    Restart the unit. Launch msconfig (in RUN type msconfig) and go to the Startup tab.
    There, you must deselect landmark from the webcam software. This prevents the automatic start software. Restart the unit.

    Now, if you do want to use the webcam, select all programs-> Toshiba-> webcam software and start it.

  • Error in the launch of TES Oblivion. It reads: failed to initialize renderer. NiXAdapterDesc::GetDeviceCaps () failed.

    Here's the thing.

    I had just recently completely reinstall Vista on my Dell Inspiron 1521 because recently there KSoD was (BlacK S Of Death creen). I was told that I also had to reinstall my Drivers and Utilities. I had Windows running after that I reinstalled Vista (finally able to reach the screen connection.) and then tried to install The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I got some kind of error message during installation and when I clicked okay, it shut out of the whole thing. So, I took my friends advice and jumped into the CD Drivers and Utilities that came with my Dell. I extracted, unpacked and installed all the drivers available on the menu (except those who say such as Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile on them, I don't think that those who are very important, so I only did those those.). After that I did, so I took another slap at reinstalled Oblivion. This time, he actually completed the installation. I was so excited, I clicked on the logo of oblivion on my desk, and when this menu appeared with classical music (the one that offers you the options game, Options, data files, Technical Support, etc.) I clicked Play and then the black window appears as if its going to work and then just stops and this error message is displayed: failed to initialize renderer. NiXAdapaterDesc::GetDeviceCaps() failed. Then everything closes, I tried several times and got the same results each time.

    The main reason I'm being so complete in this regard is to let you know EXACTLY what I could probably help find the problem. Another thing... I'm absolutely stupid with computers, I tried Googling the error message and I found sites where people have had the same problem but they have started talking about all this driver stuff I didn't understand even remotely. I have NO Internet on my computer, unless there is a way to disconnect a cable from my PC at home and connect it to my laptop so it won't be (could this work? If so which cable I have unplug my pc at home and my laptop? Never tried it before.). So I ask, if anyone out there who is willing to help has the answer to my problem, could you tell me how to solve this problem, as if you were talking to a 6 year old? That or just make so that even the dumbest, most computer-illiteriate person could understand. I know almost nothing about all this stuff of pilot. When I reinstalled the drivers on my pc I just follow the instructions step by step that my friend gave me, but had next to no knowledge of what exactly I was doing.

    EDIT: I played oblivion on my PC countless times before KSoD would have on me without any problems at all except that it could be a bit of lag... That's all. It has completely worked until I got the black screen of death on my Dell Inspiron 1521 and had to reinstall vista and all the drivers.

    Hello DJS4400,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
     
    GetDeviceCaps() is a DirectX routine call made by the game engine for you check the details of the video card, what it is capable of supporting, and after that the game engine make certain decisions about what all the things to initialize for her. If that is a failure, it means that the game engine is not able to read your video card correctly.
    Most likely, this would be a problem with the drivers and of course, could be a problem with the card itself.

    Try running another game and see if it works. If it isn't, definity your drivers need a second look. If it does, this means, oblivion has a problem with the drivers you are using, or else they have not been installed correctly.

    I would first try:

    Click Start-> then type ' Device Manager "in the field of research-> game controller, select device-> next Manager, select sound and video-> This will drop your card-> with the right button on the map and you should have an option to update the drivers."  Once you repeat this test.

    If still no luck, right click again on the map and select Uninstall (you may have to restart after that) and then return to the driver and reinstall.   In most cases if you need to reboot, when your computer starts it will try updating the driver automatically from the site.

    Please let us know status.  Thank you!
