Halo 2 Vista Stopped Working

So I decided to continue my Legendary playthrough the other day. So I start the game up on my bro’s laptop, which ran the game flawlessly for months. I get about 10 seconds in and the image freezes but the game still runs in the background. I tried reinstalling and updating drivers and I even tried to play it on a different laptop. Same thing happens. Has anyone else run into this issue and does anyone know how to fix it?

Edit: So the game works fine offline for some reason. I’m thinking it’s a bad update or something but I don’t remember downloading any updates. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same problem. :frowning:

I have the same problem, too :’(

Somebody help us, pls!!!

FIXED!

All you have to do is to unistall Windows Live Essential. Try that and Halo 2 PC will work!
