[liiamthom]

i have none

[Pikatwig]

@liiamthom You have none what?

[ellisbest1]

i might try this but i dont want to harm my laptop by moving the oem

[CrazzyMike16]

Already fixed the error code :P my MF.dll file in SYSWOW64 was corrupted xD

so after i fixed that i tried to start halo2.exe but nope i got the MS games for windows live error... so i followed your methode and unfortunately it didn't work still getting the same MS games for windows live error.

[Pikatwig]

@CrazzyMike16 o.o Have you tried installing/reinstalling the GFWL client?

[CrazzyMike16]

@Pikatwig yup multiple times didn't work unfortunately -,-

[lolzylol115]

you have roblox lol

[qwertyblobify]

so cool you have roblox, half life and lost planet

[Pikatwig]

@qwertyblobify :P I don't play Roblox anymore, I don't have Half-Life anymore, Lost Planet was just the demo, and this is unrelated to the video XD

[Agorsan]

I have an error when i run halo 2 on my windows 7 alll i get is a blue screen with no Install View readme ect ect

[Pikatwig]

@Agorsan Erm.......I'm not fully sure what to do here. Can you show me a video of what you mean?

[metroidred234]

for some reason it wont move all the files

[Pikatwig]

@metroidred234 Hm........try seeing if Halo 2 works now. If it still doesn't work, you need to get into the administrator account, if you aren't already.

[ged0h]

not working, i try it out :(

[rookie6111]

GUYS İS SO EASY JUST DOWNLOAD GAMES FOR WİNDOWS LİVE 100 WORKİNG

[Pikatwig]

@rookie6111 That works? Interesting to know.

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig because i try and working halo2 dosen't run on no games for windows live computers the need games for windows trust me

[Pikatwig]

@rookie6111 Erm.....I don't remember GFWL ever fixing the Halo 2 problem on WIndows 7 buddy.

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig yes

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig i sure just try

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig but not download GFWL on halo2 download tron game or microsoft

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig trust me man its realy working

[Pikatwig]

@rookie6111 I know GFWL is needed to run GFWL games, but this doesn't fix the problem of Halo 2 not being able to run on Windows 7. If it did, no one would be having problems :P Dumbass

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig u try it

[Pikatwig]

@rookie6111 The crap do you think I just said :P Even with GFWL installed, it doesn't fix the problem of the game not wanting to run on Windows 7. Now how about you shut up until you can learn to listen.

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig no u shut up how to halo run on my computer bumbass

[Pikatwig]

@rookie6111 :P Now your just messing up your grammar.

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig ok ok

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig but its realy work

[Pikatwig]

@rookie6111 Ok, dude, look. When I installed Halo 2, I installed GFWL with it. I made sure of that. I'm sure almost everyone here already had that installed. But sadly, what your claiming isn't true. Installing that doesn't fix Halo 2 into running on Windows 7. You need to perform a fix, one of which can be the one I posted in this video, to get it running. Do you understand now?

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig ok u won but how to fixedin my computer

[rookie6111]

@Pikatwig they say in the error 'live gaming on windows' halo2 is games for windows LİVE game halo2 does run with games for windows live just need games for windows u can find tron evolution games or microsoft

[yoosuFTW]

In 3:56 it says Halo 2 for Windows Vista has stopped working ! But i have Windows 7 ! Help !

[rookie6111]

@yoosuFTW just download games for windows live

[rookie6111]

@yoosuFTW man just download GAMES FOR WİNDOWS LİVE

[TheMadmadt]

i dont know but i am going to try

[SporeCreationsCoda]

You should get a new computer because when you started Halo 2 it looked like to me that the video quality sucked.

[Pikatwig]

@SporeCreationsCoda Nah, the quality was good (at this was a new PC at the time)

[thekiller2788]

when i get on it says failed to load engine? help please

[Gamingman1231]

It still didnt work D:

[xxCOD3xx]

[Pikatwig]

@xxCOD3xx Didn't even know about it at the time.

[Peinledieusauveur]

[Peinledieusauveur]

[Shocks548]

I played it but it needss to be activated to the full version (damn you microsoft) but can someone tell me how to put my CROSSHAIR in the center coz it's almost in the bottom screen and i can't play properly

[TheSofus123]

[Pikatwig]

@TheSofus123 No, actually I don't.

[MiguelAngeloDuarte]

[Pikatwig]

@MiguelAngeloDuarte Um, can you rephrase that sentence?

[dog8alien1]

[Pikatwig]

@dog8alien1 Then look for a different vid.

[jatuncle]

what the fuck before few weeks it was working fine i completed it four five time but now

i am not gonna understand what happen to it

[jatuncle]

sorry doesnt work for me



[XanderBLEH]

fuck this im going to halo ce >.>

[brandonhughes7]

or you could just right click the setup.exe for halo 2 go to compatibly and select windows vista in the drop down box...

[TudorPangal]

All I did was go to customize game install, Full install do not start. After that I downloaded the updates from the Halo 2 PC official website, and it worked no problem. It's that easy.

[Austin9978com]

mine doesnt say that it says The ordinal 126 could not be located in the dynamic link libary dwmapi.dll. WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND YES I HAVE WINDOWS 7

[jtdogproducts]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks man it works now ty sub :)

[Pikatwig]

@jtdogproducts Your welcome :3

[devin7658]

@Pikatwig you have a dell because i have the same exact thing

[MAXTHEASTARTES]

I see Roblox in the Background :P i used to play that alot.

[Pikatwig]

@MAXTHEASTARTES Same here. Got boring after awhile though. I still have it kuz I have a friend that plays it sometimse.

[MAXTHEASTARTES]

@Pikatwig The cool thing on Roblox is, that you can do absoulutely everything...csripts Builödings weapons, it was quite Awsome.

[kenfreak0]

never use notepad for a tutorial or a guide

[Pikatwig]

@kenfreak0 I didn't have a choice at the time of this recording, had no microphone.

[ViNFaMoUsZz]

do you have a fix for any installation problems? when i try to install it gives an error saying

"redist/vcredust.msi

This isntallation could not be opened."

[Pikatwig]

@ViNFaMoUsZz Are you trying to install from an actual retail disk, ISO, or burned disk?

[ViNFaMoUsZz]

@Pikatwig an actuall disk

[Pikatwig]

@ViNFaMoUsZz Does the disk appear to have any scratched or anything?

[ViNFaMoUsZz]

@Pikatwig I'm looking at it right now and it has like 4 or 5. It's never been a problem before though.

[Pikatwig]

@ViNFaMoUsZz I guess that "could" be the problem. Do you know how to get scratches outta CD's and stuff? If you don't, search it up on youtube, there's tons of videos.

[ViNFaMoUsZz]

@Pikatwig I just tried it and I still get it, I think I'm going to give up, this has been happening for way too long.

[Pikatwig]

@ViNFaMoUsZz If you can't get your retail CD to work, try finding an ISO and using that to install, you can still use your CD key and stuff.

[ViNFaMoUsZz]

@Pikatwig Whoa, dude, that's a good idea! Thanks.

[Pikatwig]

@ViNFaMoUsZz No problem!

[hellow12327]

guys just right click halo2.exe and select run in compatibilaty mode for

Windows vista ( any servicepack ). that worked for me.

[ajleece]

[TheDaniel4255]

[TheAndroidAdventure]

[tehswedishlol]

[tehswedishlol]

still dont work! but i have a 86x bit comp i think

[MrSkateIDK]

what are the oem things for anyway?

[Pikatwig]

@MrSkateIDK Dunno

[scarymarydied]

Well, I have come to the conclusion that Halo 2 Vista DOES NOT WORK on Windows 7 64 bit... might as well have put my $25 down the toilet and flushed it... FUCKING ANNOYING!.... I wasted 2 fucking hours of my day trying to get this to work...

[MrCharlieRevell]

@scarymarydied why buy halo 2 its on filecrop.com for free lol

[Pikatwig]

@MrCharlieRevell Yeah, that's called piracy my friend.

[Tailsthehacker01]

@Pikatwig It's also called awesome Money saving techniques. Umad companies?

[Pikatwig]

@Tailsthehacker01 "sigh"

[Tailsthehacker01]

@Pikatwig To be fair. I only use torrents on old stuff like the original Halo and portal. I actually Paid for Minecraft, so don't go off thinking I just torrent everything. Besides. Valve makes everything frigging complicated by making me buy the "orange box deal" that comes with TF2 "free to play now so useless"

Half life 2 (I'm only not very interested) and finally portal Which is all I wanted.

[Pikatwig]
