Good Evening,
I have never had any issues with Halo 2 PC before, but coming back after a year or so I find that I cannot play Halo 2 while signed into LIVE, as the screen requires me to update LIVE, yet when Halo 2 reboots after this update the game will not display the main menu, just a blueish-black screen... If I choose to ignore the update Halo 2 runs flawlessly offline, but I am trying to go back and get all the campaign achievements. Is there a workaround for LIVE/has anyone else had this issue?

Computer Specs:
Dell Inspiron N7010
Intel(R) Core i5 2.53 GHz
Intel(R) HD Graphics
4.00 GB RAM
500 GB SSD
Windows 8.1 Pro

you have the latest gfwl marketplace?
not sure what could cause the problem, do you have another LIVE game?

Try finding tinker and sign in with that

I have the latest GWFL marketplace installed and H2PC is my only game for LIVE. However after researching further it seems that the problem lies in the incompatibility between Windows 8.1 PRO and the GWFL... So I reinstalled the latest GWFL in compatibility mode for Windows 7 but now it says its missing the Windows LIVE sign in assistant and from what I've seen no-one has managed to install that successfully in compatibility mode...
