i just got a computer that is running windows vista (first mistake) and i really want to play halo on it, but halo runs like crap... it ran fine on my old computer, and it should run perfectly on my new computer. i have much better than the recommended requirements, let alone the minimum reqs. i have changed all possible video settings and tried it on all of them, but nothing works.... it lags really bad... and i have a terrible framerate. i have only tried it on multiplayer... i dont play single player. it isnt my internet, because i have broadband, and i have counterstrike source, which runs perfectly on my computer (it never lags)... so i want to know why halo won't work.... could you please help me out?

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Halo on vista is fine and there is nothing wrong with vista so I dont know why you say it was a mistake to get vista. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your card. It would also be helpful if you were to post what video card you have, not how much memory it as that is irrelevant.

its probably cause nvidia's drivers for vista are made of phail sauce

i can run HPC at 1280X1024 on xp with my 6200, but only 800X600 on vista

Video card, drivers, or server(?).

my laptop has similar specs to yours, and it runs great on vista. Make sure you have the latest drivers and such.

if you have the shortcut running as administrator. Then uncheck it. I got like 10fps while doing that. now I get about 80 average.

ok... i got halo running... (i got the latest driver) and gameplay is fairly smooth on 800x600... it looks like s*** though.... but it plays fine... i guess.... it is kinda disappointing
