    I was able to play halo 2 for Windows Vista online without any problems, but two days ago, that I was not able to connect to live. I get an error 0 x 80151909. I disabled the firewall and antivirus and that did not help. I have a network and internet connectivity. But for some reason some can't connect to live. Is anyway to check if the servers are down? Y at - it a forum for GFW or check my profile? Can someone pls help? Thank you.

    Hello Noshdb,

    Thank you for posting.  I studied this question and it is firewall partner.  Some have solved the problem by defining it firewall 'Allow all' and others have had success after connecting directly to the modem and without going through the router.  To better help you, I need to know the network configuration, you have to solve the problem.

    Looking forward to help you any further. Zack

  • 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.

    See you soon

    * 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.

  • Halo 2 will not let me play.

    OK my halo 2 game does not work when I try to open it. It keeps saying that something works already as the dedicated server halo2 I tried everything I can think of any suggestion?

    What version of Windows are you using?

    Try to restart your computer and check if the game works or not.
    If you receive the same error, check the Task Manager to see if the process is still running.

  • LIVE gaming on Windows failed to initialize.

    My son just bought Halo 2, he worked hard to earn the money to buy this game, and now he can't play. I had this error and have spent a lot of time trying to make it work. I was wondering if there is a final solution to the error. I have been games on computers for years and have never had such a hard time with a game. I think that Microsoft would have received some kind of fix in now since 2007. I am very disappointed! This kid has worked hard for it and got nothing for its efforts but a butt game disc! When Microsoft starts back up what they are selling? Read all messages for this error me steam, it's a shame to let your customers suffer trying to do your job! Knowing that after opening a box of software most of the retailers won't bring back seems not to bother Microsoft, after all, you've got your money, who cares if the software works!

    Found this in another post.  It works for me.  Although I did a lot of other things before hand that may have contributed.

    Load the latest version of games for Windows Live Client. Before loading the game launch Halo 2 Live and sign. Then start Halo2. The game should work fine. This is a problem with Halo 2 is not able to start the Client to live properly on Windows 7/Vista.

  • Permission of Halo 2 problem

    Hello. I've seen a post like this, but it did not help, so I ask you once again.

    I have a problem with halo 2 vista where, after rebooting my computer, the game is no longer appears in the part 'Games' of the taskbar, and when I go to where halo 2 is installed (D:\Halo2, in this case), all the files say that I don't have permission to access. Yes, I tried "Run as Administrator". It did not help. Whenever I click on the play button on the startup of the disc program, it says "cannot start the application selected, you are not authorized to access this file. Yes, reinstall fixes the problem, but when I reboot it comes back, and I don't want to reinstall too many times because I haven't heard halo 2 has a limit of installation. What should I do? Thank you.
