After many hours of work I got vista on my PC and have got the vista driver for my video card. I go to install vista and all i get is a error message that says I need Vista to install Halo 2. Well I have Vista I am using it right now but the Halo 2 disk thinks I do not have Vista installed when I do in fact have vista installed. I had a heck of a time getting Vista installed. I first had to download the vista drivers for the video card then turn of the computer. I had to remove the video card since Vista would not boot with it. The driver would not install so I had to put it back in and put Vista in safe mode to get it to boot. then had to instal the driver then restart vista gain. then I needed new drivers for my sound card but could not get them because my network card was not working with vista. I get that working then download and install the sound card drivers for Vista. Now the game is telling me I do not have Vista when I do in fact have Vista. Does this mean the Halo 2 disk is defective?

What video card do you have? When Vista installs it should load a MS driver for the card at install and then Windows Update will grab the lastest certified drivers when you restart.

Turns out Vista messed up booting with the video card again turns out the card is defective. But Futureshop lost my order records and am having issues getting them to honor the warranty. Anyway i am right now using my old graphics card which is a geforce 5600XT. Not the best card but still the game should at least install and not tell me I need Vista when I do i fact have vista.
