I believe that Halo 2 Vista requires it

I also had problems starting Settlers 6: Rise of an Empire. It said that because of Parental Controls settings (does it even come with WS2008??) I didn't have access to it.. :/

what error u get?

memory ref ?

FEAR needs it. I have placed the x64 and x86 versions of gameux.dll into my ws2008 install and when I try and run fear it starts about 2000 instances of rundll and rundll *32 and slowly closes each one then pops up the FEAR has failed to start error message.

Another game I have needs the dll file but I think it will do the same thing.

try disable dep if u didnt

Did that. no change. Next thing to do is try a reinstall and see if it complains about missing games explorer.

Anybody have a solution to this?

Windows Server 2008 is awesome as a workstation, even for Games, but having the missing Vista Games Explorer would be the icing on the cake!

regsvr32 gameux.dll

Doesnt put games explorer in, but allows Halo 2 and FEAR to run for example.
