when you see the "place game in system link"bit, press a, then back, that should take you to the my programs, there just goto your drive where the game is, or put the game in the dvd drive ( making sure that it auto-runs xbox games in the settings) and run the game, into system link and the game(s) should be there.

If you have the game on disc I believe you should put the disc in before you choose your arena and game. The back button process is for thsoe of us loading off HD.

are you all going into the Americas or Europe Rooms... thats where the games are... not in the main Halo 2 (atleast i dont think you can host games there)

Why not follow the quick start guide before going in blindly..

I've pasted those above words and link roughly 100 times in the past day and frankly I'm getting fed up of it Confused
