halo custum has been working just fine. but now, just starting yesterday, whenever i run haloCE the screen flashes black, then i get a gathering exception data message. i can't think of anything that would cause this, it was working just fine last time i played it. i have reinstalled it several times but it just refuses to work normaly. if i run it in safe mode it works, but it looks like i threw up on the screen, so thats not acceptable.

please help

Heyyo,

Hmm, what video card do you have, and 2ndly, do you have windows xp with Service Pack 2 onnit? cause SP2 causes a lot of errors with many apps, go here to see if you have it installed:

Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs

Now, once there search for: Windows Hotfix SP2

If it exists, then you'll need to look at the stickey thread about how to solve compatibility issues..

Heyyo,

Ok, boromeer, just leave this thread right now, cause you've just missed the whole point, lol.

You see? that vid card makes ALL the difference in how to solve this problem, cause I bet that bob_e, you have the 256MB version of it, with SP2, so read this man:

That should help you solve your crashing issues ;)

ok, i downloaded the string.dll and binkw32.dll, i put them in my halo custum home directory, i double click the halo icon and i get a message: "Corrupted Halo.exe". so i read some more and discover that i need the latest patch. but when i run halo update or try to manually update halo custum it tells me that i already have the latest version......WTF!!!!!!0010 00010010 00010010 0001 shift+one.

Heyyo,

Err... does it really say that? cause it could be hacked then...

Try uninstalling, deleting your halo driectory, and reinstalling, and doing that SP2 fix... a clean start usually helps. ;)

at this point i'm going to give up. i've reinstaled enough times to almost memorize my CD key, i've tryed the new .dll's, i've set the AGP Aperture to 128, tryed every driver for my video card, removed SP2. im done trying.

and no, that picture isn't real, it was just me venting my frustration via paint

where did you download CE from? has it been the same websight? or have you not even gone that far, and have just been rerunning setup.exe?

Heyyo,

Yeah, there's some pretty defuncted versions of HaloCE, I got mine from http://www.3dgamers.com and it works fine.
