How to get Halo 2 working on Windows 10 64 Bit.

[James_19]

Hey boys, wondering if there is any way to get Halo 2 to work on Windows 10 64 bit.
Got past all the GFWL stuff, but as son as I launch the game, it just comes up with "Halo 2 for Windows Vista has stopped working"
I have tried compatibility mode, windowed mode, and also administrator. I remember the game working on my installation of Windows 7.
(Using a legit store bought copy of the game)
Thanks boys, James

Hi,

According to Microsoft's Support site the only 2 recommendation that should solve the issue is to run the game in compatibility mode and do an update or patch for the game before running it.
- Start by running Windows Update and it should find any update available for Halo 2.
- Do also try to install this update from Microsoft.
- http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/0/e/b0ec1acf-8623-4520-9764-75baaffc0718/Update.exe
- Once installed do try the game again.
- If these doesn't work do try to uninstall/reinstall Halo 2 again with the latest patch from Microsoft.
