Halo 2 for Windows Vista works only on Windows 7

Recently, I had to replace my laptop and got a version of windows 7. I am trying to run Halo 2 for Windows Vista and you try to run the compatibility for her program, but it still does not. Is it possible to get this game to work with Windows 7? I tried to run it as a Vista program, but it still does not.  This laptop capabilities go beyond the requirements of game system.

Hello

You're talking about Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved.If it's the same thing that you are referring to, its compatible with Windows 7, you don't have to install or use it in compatibility mode.

See if you get an error such as that of the article when you play the game and then continue with the steps in there.

If the installation is your concern, then let us know what happens when you do.

  • I have a copy of Halo 2 for Windows Vista disc and the login screen keeps telling me 'No product valid key'

    I bought a copy of Halo 2 for Windows Vista drive during the Christmas holidays and after that I installed the game, valid and registered the product key with the installation program, I load the game to connect to Games for Windows Live and he informs me that "your product key invalid. It seems that through my research on the Internet, I have to request a new key to use my game. I called Microsoft Technical Support, and told me to come here to get answers on how to get a new product key.

  • Halo 2 for Windows Vista compatibility problems?

    I have problems of execution of Halo 2 for Vista after installing it on my Windows 7 installation.  Whenever I start it, it immediately goes to "No answer" as soon as it loads.  I tried to start with the compatibility options for all versions of Vista (plain, sp1, and sp2) but nothing works.  It seems to freeze at the part where it loads in the Games for Windows Live components.  I saw elsewhere that people have problems with this and that by removing completely all Games for Windows games and executives charge then reinstall them with Halo 2 first worked.  This has not worked for me, and after some further experimentation, I decided to check if it was a hardware problem, so I did a clean install of Vista and had no problem if he started.  All my drivers are up to date, but I can't find any more away.  Any suggestions?

    My computer is an Intel Core i7 920 on an Asus P6T with 6 GB of RAM running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 with Nvidia GTX260 graphics.

  • Halo 2 Vista works only with Windows 7

    Hi, I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and I play Halo 2 Vista.

    • I played Halo 2 Vista this morning and it worked well as it would in my older OS Windows Vista. But when I get back home later I get this message when I start the game.
    • 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.
    • I've never touched my computer since I came back from the game Halo 3 of my friends house. This was from 09:30 - 20:00 now it comes up with the error.
    • I uninstalled 3 times, changed several times compatibility, installed the LIVE update manually and just update by itself.
    I know that this isn't obviously a problem of compatibility due to the fact that I used to play on my Windows Vista SP2 and this morning.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    coNaLEXCHaN,
    One thing you can try is to clean boot your system and test it.  If the problem disappears, then it will show that there is another software that is in conflict with the game.    Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • I can't Halo 2 for Windows Vista to run on Windows 7__

    I installed Halo 2 on my Windows 7 64-bit computer.  When I try to run it, I get this error message:

    "LIVE Gaming on Windows initialization failure. 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. »

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but got the same message.  I am then went on the LIVE Gaming on Windows, downloaded the software and connected to it, then tried to run the game again - same error message.  I went to the support site for Microsoft Halo 2 and downloaded the last updated and tried to run the game - same error message.

    I don't want to play this game as a multiplayer online, I just want to play the campaign solo mode.

    I have installed and played several other games on this computer, since I upgraded to Windows 7, including Halo Combat Evolved.  How can I run Halo 2?

    Update did not work for me, but my husband found this solution:
    http://forums.haloonwindowsvista.com/forums/thread/7677.aspx

    GER bear:
    The only way I found to play the game after installation of Windows 7 was to disconnect the internet cable before you choose the game to play after game starts to reconnect the cable... weird but it works...

    It worked for me!  I pulled the power cord from the modem before starting the game.  He starts without a problem.  After it starts, I plugged the modem in.  I don't know if the Gaming Live runs from there, but at least I can play in campaign mode (which is what I wanted to do anyway).

  • Impossible to uninstall, play or install Halo 2 for windows vista

    One time, I tried to install Halo 2 on my hp laptop. It had windows vista 64 bit (I now have windows 7). It installed, but when I tried to play it, it says "this program requires Microsoft windows vista or Microsoft windows 2003 server" and wouldn't let me play. So I tried to uninstall it. He says that it uninstalled, but when I looked, it was still on my computer. So I tried to uninstall it using ccleaner, and he gave me the same error message when I tried to play it. I went through all the files and deleted all. Then I tried searching for it in the start menu and nothing came, so I thought that I got rid of him. But when I tried to install it again, he said that the program was already installed... so I checked under the control panel and of course, he was always there and I still couldn't uninstall - play - or install it.

    Hey, thanks for your info. Yes, I tried both methods and it was always on my computer. I tried to install it anyway, but it would not even read the disc. He said "the files are missing or damaged in the installation directory. I'll just forget. In any case, thank you for your time and your input.

    Or try to remove the file oleaut32.dll from your package and rebuild according to this blog post http://blogs.vmware.com/thinapp/2010/08/captured-on-xp---running-on-win-7.html

  • Adobe Air for Flash CS6 works only on Android 5.0.2

    Hello

    I tried to publish a game that I have developed in Adobe Flash CS6 using the Adobe Air platform.

    I've done this countless times before, I'm not new to develop in Flash.

    Even if everyone thinks that HTML5 will take over as "Flash is dead" I still think it's a great development platform.

    I have trouble getting my APK files to run on Android 5.0.2 (Lolipop) without apparent reason.

    If I choose to install AIR separately, it works. If I decide to incorporate it into the APK, it gives an error immediately after the launch of the app.

    There is no error code and nothing I can do reference. just an error "The Application was able to start".

    I would be grateful if someone could help, thanks.

    This article was written 7 months ago, there is a good chance that the AIR is ok with 5 Android now. Even the article, that it was fixed in 5.0.1.

    AIR installed on the computer is not the same as the AIR SDK. You don't want to not download either version of the AIR SDK:

    Download Adobe AIR SDK

    or download the latest beta, which is be AIR 19:

    Download Adobe AIR 19 Beta - Adobe Labs

    Once it has downloaded and unzipped, you will have a record. Now go to the Help menu of Flash Pro and select managed Adobe AIR SDK...

    Here, you can add an item and navigate to where the folder is located. It can be anywhere, I tend to leave in my downloads folder.

    If you were to take the file act.jar of this article it would be things likely to mess. But just as a point of interest to Flash Pro users, the file is located in the SDK folder, inside the lib folder.

    So, the short version of what I hope are you currently build for AIR 3.2, who would have a chance with the latest versions of Android, and edit using AIR 18 or 19 would be a good idea.

    I bought Halo 2 for Vista, but who like OS Windows XP Pro, just can't launch the startup.exe, I search the community, there is a rumor that it won't work even with the patch. Can someone help, please?

    Unfortunately, Halo 2 does support Windows Vista and more.  Windows XP is not supported.  There may be 3 party hacks that can make it work, but they are not taken in charge and potentially dangerous.
