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.

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.

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.

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?

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 systemI see a lot of ideas but WITHOUT DIFFICULTY. I did the:
net stop cryptsvc
Rename: c: / windows/system32/catroot2
to: cr2oldnet 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.

I never met such a problem. Have you installed any programs recently? It seems that the software related issue. To be honest, it is sometimes easier to reinstall the operating system than to try to fix it.

I had to install a new hard drive after the death of my old. I use my Dell recovery/reinstallation disk. The first time I tried installing that it froze after the reboot. I then did a repair installation (twice) and each time got the following error:
PxShare.exe Application error.
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000135). Click OK to close the application.
It appears at the end of the installation, but when my login screen is displayed, it shows only one account, administrator and request a password. I have not configured any accounts when I did the installation and you do not have a password. I tried to enter without password, using admin as password and check-in safe mode did not help - it still asked for a password.
I don't know if the two problems are related or not.
Thanks for any help!

Failed to initialize the installation program. Error 110. On Windows XP.
Whenever I try to install LV6.1 or LV6.1 DSC Run-Time system, on my Windows XP machine, I always get the following error message:
Failed to initialize the installation program. Error 110.
I think it has something to do with the MSI or "Windows Installer". I tried to uninstall all of THE products of National Instruments, but it did not help. Any ideas?
Hello. Thank you. I tried, but in fact, it did not help. However, after doing a little research on our, I found a solution by following these steps:
1. reboot Windows XP in Safe Mode
2. double-click on the Setup program to start the installation process
3 cancel the installation process after it starts
4. restart windows in normal modeNow, all my applications of MSI with setup.exe work correctly! Quite strange. Just for the record: this problem was not due to a Virus protection program (as all assumed first that many people) and it kept me from running applications (MSI?) of ANY installer from a CD.
