Hi!
I have a problem with Halo PC!
When i start the game (after I've installed it) it comes up a "Halo - Warning", like this:

"Problem: Your computer's video driver was not tested with this game. A newer version that is compatible may be available. If you wish to update your drivers, please contact your computer manufacturer for any necessary assistance.

Machine info: 1400MHz, 256MB, 64M nVidia GeForce2 MX (0x0110)"

(It is also a weblink, with the name "Click here for more information". When I click the link i come to this site:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/home/stopGate.asp?r=M&t=ht tp%3A//www.microsoft.com/games/halo/support.asp
but I've found nothing of interest there.)

Now I can choose to:
"Continue Anyway", "Continue in 'Safe Mode'" or "Exit".

If I chose "Continue Anyway" or "Continue in 'Safe Mode'" this "Halo - Fatal Error" shows up:

"Problem: Your computer's video driver is known to have serious issues with the game. A newer version that is compatible may be available. If you wish to update your drivers, please contact your computer manufacturer for any necessary assistance.

Machine info: 1400MHx, 256MB, 64M nVidia GeForce2 MX (0x0110)"

The same weblink is there, but now my only choice is "Exit".

I've searched for driverupdates on Windows Update, but it didn't find any...

Please HELP ME!! I'm desperat, but I don't want to buy a new video card!!!

Did you go to NVidia site to download the driver? If not, then probably click the word NVidia and download it.

The GeForce 2 really is a bottom-end card though, even if you do get it running, it'll look almost as bad as it does on xbox (lol).
