Halo 2 has a startup problem on XP

[Halo2Vista]

I don't think you'll find any answers my friend, XP isn't supported.

I have tried it on xp, it didnt work. (Loader and everything.) I'm not gonna sit around hoping someone here helps me, because the game was created to run on Vista.

even though that may be true, vista can take up quite a bit of RAM (ranging anywhere between 100 and 130 mb of memory

Halo 2 was developed for Vista only.

You honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Vista itself is scalar according to whatever memory is available. It also caches data you're most likely to use into memory.
