So I just baught Halo for my comp. thank fucking god. I've always been happy playing it on xbox but the other day I saw it at best buy for like 5 bucks so i decided to pick it up.

Anyways, it installed fine, but when I click to play it, the Halo screen pops up and pretends like it's gonna start.

Then I get this.

It tells me that

A problem occured initializing Direct#D. Hardware acceleration maybe disabled, please run DXDIAG.

I did this and found I have DirextX 9 and even tested the Direct3D. It said it tested sucessfully.

So why can't I play Halo ?
