Ok, so I bought an installed Halo 1 on my windows Vista computer and I am trying to play but it is sooo laggy, I can barely even get to my menu to change the video settings. The thing is, my computer has double the requirements that are necessary. Why would I have to set everything on low? I can run counter strike with everything on high but a 5 year old PC xbox port I have to run on low? Is it a problem with vista? Someone help.

Yeah i'm sure H2 would run at all. My graphics card is twice as good as what they recommend so I dont know what the problem is.

Dropping a good game and playing a noobified one doesn't solve anything.

How do I tell if I am running it in the right compatibility mode?

I am able to run Halo 1 easily as well. I can boot up single player no problems. Can't run multiplayer for some reason. I have the current drivers for my video card, plus I downloaded the latest patch for Halo, but for some reason I can't patch it. No big deal, but I hate it when I can't figure out something haha.

I just don't get it, I have twice the recommended specs but no go. Makes me mad, I bought it for the map editor and online play.

Be more specific. Twice the Halo requirements doesn't mean anything. What's your CPU speed, RAM amount, graphics card, ect.?

Hm...you should be able to run it quite well...not sure what's wrong...but try upgrading your GPU. 64mb for a 6150 is weak...it's integrated I assume? My 6200 ( <probably 40-60 bucks now) is 256 mb.

Well thats your problem, I'm surprised that video card lets you play any game. That 64MB of video memory is really hurting you, i have 256 and I still dont play it on high.
