So basically it ain't working. I would try to help, but you've probably tried everything I can think of hundreds of times.

Just expand your window so that it fills the entire screen. It's not exactly the same, but it's beter then nothing.

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.

Does HCE do the same thing Matt?

I know this is a pain in the ass, but couldn't you just make backups of everything on your pc, and just dump your hard drive? I know you've tried just about everything, matt, so it might be time to start over. That is, if you want to start playing Halo again. I had to do that with my dell a couple of years ago, and it wasn't to big of a deal.

I'm sure there's an easier solution, but unless you can figure that out, that might be an option for you to consider.

I can't restore it or maximize it at all, as soon as I see the Halo Logo before the game starts, it just minimizes, I hear the audio, and if I move my mouse around I hear the little sounds when you hover over a menu.

I might just buy a new game, or try my friend's game, and if it doesn't work, then it's my computer., if not it's the game.

Specs for those who asked

64M Intel Integrated
3GHz Intel Processor
512 RAM
200GB HD
Integrated Audio
View Sonic 19" widescreen

Oh and for Node, I got rid of HCE, I can try it again

Uninstall, get rid of profiles, and let it sit for a week, geezz, how many times do I have to tell you? It did the same thing to my old laptop, and that particular meathod fixed it, and retarded as it sounds. Try 256 MB more RAM, just in case though, you need an upgrade anyway.

That happend to me. The solution i worked out my self was to just keep clicking the screen with my mouse while the game is loading up. as fast as you can. Then it does not minimize. This did not exactly fix the problem. I had to do it everytime I went to play. But atleast I could play.

So yeah, try clicking the screen as fast as you can when the game loads up just befor it minimizes. Then maybe the menu will stay open.

Hope this helps.

Okay, anything with computers software wise doesn't use time when you can do things right away. It was coincidence it worked for you or you changed system files.

Anyway, fastmatt, try this, when installing halo, install it to a different folder, it's default is, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo, try making it C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\HaloPC or something.

holy -blam!- it worked! lol that's tight. I was able to download the v1.07 patch and I allowed Halo Pc to be access through Norton, w00t! I only had to do the clicking thing once and it worked.

thanks guys!

Sweet. It's the random things that work that are awesome. For example, I can't join internet games unless I host an internet game first, for some weird reason that causes my game to crash.
