Re: Advapi32.dll

Where did you obtain the dll file in question? Sometimes those can be corrupt as well.

Re: Advapi32.dll

when you got the file did you follow there instructions for installing the file,or did you just drop it in the system folder?

they do have some instructions for registering the file in the system registry.

If the problem still occurs, try the following:

* 1. Press Start and select Run
* 2. Type CMD and press Enter
* 3. Type regsvr32 "filename".dll and press Enter

i also merged your threads being they are on the same topic.also just to add i really doubt you will get banned for being a bit angry over a problem.also yes we do this on a total volunteer basis.

Re: Advapi32.dll

@ ClineTyme - Have you got Kernel32.dll, User32.dll, and Ole32.dll in the syste32 folder?

BTW, both these problems are related to Halo 2 correct?
In which case, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't it only for Vista? Both of you have XP listes as your OS.

Re: Advapi32.dll

Did you read the post Jack Sparrow made?
You have XP listed as your OS, Halo 2 is Vista ONLY.
