"did u update ur video drivers or direct x?? if u didn't try downloading direct x 9.0c"- of course, it seems the game doesn't realize i have full hardware acceleration on is there any way i can refresh, make it realize i have it on

yes
they wanted a 733mhz processor- i gave it a 2.4ghz
they wanted a 128mb of ram- i gave it 1gig DDRM2
mY graphics chip is a raedon 9550 (not top of class but good)

video card.... hmm legacy video capture devices, but bottom line yup, all the requirements

according to microsoft and if you want to cross reference this you can. but that they say "use Windows Vista". That will fix everything.

HALO 1, sorry for confusion

tuxbox- thanxs lessoned learned, update both windows and amd driver

halo, i fixed the problem i just need to install new drives from AMD, windows drivers were fine,

BUT .....I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM
ya so i played the game for an hour, quit, tuned of my computer, turned it back on and now when i try to load the game it minimizes it self, i try to restore it and come up, and goes down again...

Ive reinstalled and before (when i could play the game) and was running on the update and i still am.


(i think theres a forum on afterdawn about this issue....

you can try a trick that i do when this happens. as soon as you launch the game and the second the window opens for halo, start and keep clicking and it should fix it. lol it works for me :D if not then there should be some command for the shortcut that u can type in so the game would run in window mode
