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. Apparently Microsoft Engineers could give me a new key from what the woman for Microsoft said.
EDIT: I received a reference number for Microsoft colleagues to use to search for my problem:

  • 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.

    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.

  • I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.

    Original title: problem e mail

    I click on the links in the email and get a box that says: "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action" and the link cannot be opened.

    Suggestions;

    1. make sure that your e-mail program is your default program.

    2. make sure that your Internet Explorer, or your main browser has all its faults.

    You can do both of the above by following these steps...

    Start button > right column, click default programs > click Set Your Default programs...

    1. click on your e-mail program > it doesn't say "this program has all its defaults"?
    If not, click on choose by default for this program > check all boxes below the list > click on save when finished.

    2 do the same as above for your Internet Explorer, or your main browser.

  • 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.

  • If I have to buy a new license for Windows if I replace the mother/CPU card

    I have a prégénérée with Windows preinstalled machine and the mother/cpu card must be replaced.  If I replace them should I buy a new Windows license?

    Thank you

    There are provisions for the replacement of defective motherboards without the need to buy another license OEM, this isn't really a problem for major pc manufacturers that replace motherboards warranty.  Small manufacturers have a leeway as long as the motherboard is designed as a replacement for a defective.  If the motherboard is replaced as an 'upgrade' then the terms of this EULA do not allow this.

  • 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:

    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.
