    Cant play Halo 2

    Whenever I click the halo2.exe or startup.exe, a window pops up with an error message:

    The ordinal 100 could not be located in the dynamic link library
    dwmapi.dll

    Then it says Halo 2 for Windows has Stopped Working

    Any ideas how to fix?

    If he's running either of those .exe's, I'd assume the game installed just fine, which'd mean he's running Vista or W7.

    After doing a bit of searching, it seems your best bet is to replace the dwmapi DLL, shouldn't be too hard to find via Google.
