im not sure how it even happened, but now i cant see explosions, or run custom edition.
the error says: "Halo is not compatible with the anti-aliasing mode overrides set in the control panel. Please adjust this setting to 'Off' or 'Application Default'."
when i click for more information, it says it cant find the site.
can anyone help me with this?

Graphics Processor Unit. Didn't they teach you this stuff in computer science (i.e. keyboarding, CADD)?

Whatever. Not everybody knows this stuff. So, tell us what kind of video card you have.

This is about the simplest thing you could do.

On the bottom right corner of your screen, find and select the NVIDIA icon to bring up your control panel.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Open up the Nvidia Control Panel... go to 3D Settings... Adjust image settings with preview... Advanced 3D Image settings... click on the "take me there" link... Turn Anti-aliasing settings to None... hit the back button and put a check in the Use the Advanced 3D Image Settings, then hit the Apply button that appears at the bottom.

Whew. Then try running Halo again.
