I get this strange problem when I go to install Halo 2. I get a pop-up window saying there are 2 errors with the installation. The first error says I need to update my video drivers, but according to windows, they are up to date. The 2nd message, and the heart of my problem, says:
"Your processor is running to slow to run this game. Your current processor speed is: 1000ghz. You need at least a processor speed of 1500ghz to run this game. Your computer's processor can run up to 2200ghz. Please change your power settings, so the processor can run faster."
I have never seen this before. Further more, Halo 1 and several other current games run smooth as butter on this machine. I just want to be sure that my processor is running at the correct clock speed, and perhaps there is a setting under the motherboard diagnostics that will allow me to change this. I am not talking about "overclocking." Also, Vista rates my processor speed at a "4.9" and my new computer has an overall ranking of 4.1. The 4.1 is from my video card.
Anyone have any advice on this?
Here are the specs of my machine....
