Halo 2 "failed to initialize."

When I run Halo 2, I get this:

LIVE gaming on Windows failed to initialize. Maybe it's because an another LIVE Gaming on Windows application (for example the dedicated server Halo 2) is running on the same computer. Otherwise, reinstall the game may fix this problem.

My system:

Windows 7 Home Premium
HP g60 laptop
Pentium Dual-Core processor T4400 2.20 GHz
4.00 GB
64-bit operating system

I see a lot of ideas but WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. I did the:

net stop cryptsvc

Rename: c: / windows/system32/catroot2
to: cr2old

net start cryptsvc

And it works not ONCE! Then every time you have to re do it. All the PATCHES?

Thank you and Merry Christmas

Hi all

I fixed it. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/976264 ALIAS:

Update of application compatibility for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: February 2010

Note: will NOT work if you DOWNLOAD it! I tried a week ago. When I run it, it says: "search for updates". or something like that and then said: this will not work on this operating system. (Whatever).

If you RUN it from the window of download, it will run sucssesfully Be aware that it will not tell you he had run, he won't tell you anything. I restarted my computer and then ran Halo 2 and it worked thought that it took a little longer for Halo 2 to go. Given that I always do not trust in it, I have completely closed and restarted. It still works.

  • 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.

  • When you try to play Halo2, receive error message "live gaming on windows failed to initialize.

    Hi, I got downloaded halo 2 for windows vista, but when I go there to play it comes up with, "live gaming on windows initialization failed, maybe it's because an another live gaming application on windows (such as halo 2 dedicated server) runs on the same machine, otherwise reinstall the game can solve the problem" I reinstalled at least 5 times and as not worked I also made sure that the game halo 2 is the only program running. It is extremely annoying. Please help me fix.

    * original title - when I go on the game halo 2, it comes up with "live gaming on windows failed to initialize. Please help.*

    As it says in the wire by Debra, you must try the update of halo 2 and make sure that your firewall is not blocking halo 2 internet access.

    If none of those who work, it could be an underlying cause, like the actual CD you install halo 2 with being corrupt. If this is the case, you should find an .iso of the halo 2 CD and install from there.

    Hello

    I think you should first update / reinstall the driver for the webcam / software.
    You will get the webcam software / driver for Win 7 of the Toshiba UE driver page:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    before you would be stars the webcam driver installation, I recommend you to uninstall the pre-installed software (Control Panel-> programs and features)
    Then restart the laptop and install the new downloaded drivers

  • Re: Most of the time by Satellite T110 webcam fails to initialize

    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.

    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.

  • QuickTime Player 7.7.9 for Windows failed to initialize error 2096

    I tried to open QuickTime Player 7.7.9 in Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with the latest updates for February 2016 and a pop-up message with the message of: QuickTime failed to initialize error 2096. There was also something to check that the application has been installed correctly.

    I opened the Panel configuration/programs and features/QuickTime 7 and selected repair. Open Setup ran the repair and closed. I restarted the computer and I tried to run QuickTime player with the same result. I uninstalled QuickTime player, restarted the computer, downloaded and installed QuickTime Player from the Apple web site.

    I tried to run the new QuickTime Player that sent the same message.

    I have somehow found and executed the installer of QuickTime Player 7.7.6 (1680.95.31). I am able to access the QuickTime Player. I checked the updates and ran the update for 7.7.9 and get once more: QuickTime failed to initialize error 2096.

    Any ideas why 7.7.9 does not work to me that computer gremlins are playing with my mind.

    snrdg2801, Apple's site, the latest version of QuickTime for Windows 7 is 7.7.9, you lost me here. Why aren't you install that?

  • libnipalu.so, failed to initialize

    Greetings,

    We have installed NI - VISA 15.0 on RHEL 7.2 (release attached). When our application running, the following error message appears and the program interrupted. Abandonment occurs when the first call to viOpenDefaultRM().

    libnipalu.so, failed to initialize

    Maybe you need to run updateNIDrivers

    Quit (core dumped)

    We ran updateNIDrivers (release attached), which does not seem to change the installed RPM packages (also attached to the command "rpm - qa |") ("grep ^ nor"). But the problem persisted. Previously we tried to uninstall/install with no luck. I looked around the forum and saw this message appear elsewhere, but without a solution to this particular problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Note: I work in a closed area and have to trace output as those attached files. If the output of niSystemReport would be useful, please let me know what I could grep for :-)

    Kemens thanks for the reply and pointing me to the form of discussion. A brief tutorial, using NI-VISA with Arch Linux (or Ubuntu 14.04), which breaks down some of the install steps and highlights of the things to look for is more useful to this Council.

    The issue was the process OR native (nipple, nipxirmu, nisvcloc, etc.) do not bind to the boot. When the box is restarted, these processes are not running which causes the application to abort (during the first call of service VISA). Once they started, everything went well.

    There is a workaround for this problem/solution hackaround. See the doc attached for instructions with an example for the nipxirmu.

  • 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!
