I bought and installed Halo 1 on my Vista machine. When I try to run the game it gives me a Directx error. My only option is "Exit." I cannot find anything online. Can someone with Vista please help? I have many games. Most of them are much more graphically demanding than this one.

"A problem occurred when initializing Direct3D. Hardware acceleration may be disabled..."

Like I said, my PC runs all of my games fine....

Is there a Vista patch for this game or something?

In high definition baby!

Click here and scroll down to find your problem. I hope it works and if it doesn't, try to chat with Microsoft .

This didn't help...thanks though. My Hardware Acceleration is definitely enabled.... I'm wondering if this is due to the fact that I'm running Directx10. Anyone? Bungie, what's up? Do I need a patch or something?

I doubt micro$oft is going to give you a lot of help on that. They want you to buy halo 2 vista for full original price and then pay to play it online, too. Halo 1 isn't making them much money.

No need to pay-to-play H2V, all you need is a silver account (free) and you can play online.

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*

Do you have the latest drivers? That is 99% of the time what that message ends up being. The game is fine on vista.
