Halo 2 for vista on xp patch

Step 6. Now copy the dwmapi. You need to use the same batch file you copied to your desktop to launch the Autorun menu in order to run the game.

You need the the DVD inserted each time you play. Launch halo 2 normally using the batch file, go to the main menu, now minimize the game either alt-tabbing, windows key or ctrl-alt-del, open Procmon. Do not resume campaign instead go into the level select menu and start on the gravemind chapter. Now close Procmon. For help and support message angazi hotmail.

Well, based on the EULA included with the game, to the best of my knowledge this is not illegal That being said, follow this tutorial at your own risk.

I have read the EULA End-User License Agreement from Microsoft that was on my Halo 2 DVD, and there is nothing in it prohibiting the user from using mods or user-made files with this software, nor is there anything limiting or licensing it for a specific operating system. There is the following line: "You may not So, to the best of my knowledge following this tutorial does not violate your EULA. Is it morally justifiable?

I'd say its a moral objective to thumb my nose at Microsoft, but that's just me. So what is illegal? What is illegal is using keygens, torrenting the game, selling modified versions of the game, violating the copyright, using warez, Microsoft's marketing strategy, things like that.

If you use such things i am not responsible for what you do or what happens. This tutorial does not use such things. The important question: what can i expect?

For some reason it does not work for everyone. If it does not work for you, i encourage you to uninstall the game and try again: it took 2 trys for it to run on my new computer. I wont post a solution for this problem when i find one that does not violate the EULA or any copyrights.

If you cant wait, a Google search will offer solutions. Please note that this file is one i have used 3 times without a problem, and its hosted on my mediafire account, so rest assured that it does not contain viruses. Right click on this file, and select 'Edit' and a notepad document will open with the following text in it: Loader. The game will begin installing. This can take a while, so be patient with it. First, we need to install several programs manually from the DVD. To do this, go to 'My computer', right click on the CD drive with the 'Halo 2' in it and select 'Open'.

Find and open the folder named 'redists'. Find and double click the file called 'XLiveRedist1.
