Halo 2 Vista Problem
When I launch Halo 2 I can never sign into Live. It says theres a network problem but I am connected to the internet anyways. I can also sign into Live on Batman AC and GTA 4. I have Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks for any help,

Why else do you think it asks for the key? Each time you put the key in through GFWL it does count. Why do you think so many people have come by screaming because they can't install the game due to how many times they had to uninstall/install their copy of Halo 2 Vista because they were running into problems?

Got the problem fixed. Went to the in-game network settings and changed the connection to WiFi instead of LAN that I used awhile ago. Simple fix.

Update the GFWL client. If you have the GFWL marketplace on your PC, either delete it or make sure it's updated, then try Halo 2 again. Port forwarding I can't remember exactly but there are plenty of guides on the internet for that. As for re-installing, NO. Unless you want the infamous feature to enhance gameplay (In other words, your CD key will no longer work, you have 5 installs per Halo 2 so use it wisely)

Very helpful for me in games like Halo and Battlefield 2. Only it can interfere with some GFWL games. I prefer Steam but Xfire is still very good. Origin's in it's infancy and I've yet to see any compelling features from them.

I do not have Xfire.

Xfire actually causes all of my GFWL sign-ins to fail too. Took me a while to figure that one out.

Three things to try: 1) Update the GFWL client (unlikely to be the case as you can sign into Batman AC) 2) If you have Xfire, disable it. Halo 2 did not let me sign in whenever Xfire was running. 3) Provided Xfire's the problem and you want to use it, you can over a wireless connection. Those are the only things i can think of. Hopefully that's the cause of the issue. If not then i'm not sure what to suggest.
