I have had the 5-20 min random crash problem on Halo and finially figured out what is causing it.

I have a Vaio with SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter and after hours of shutting down programs and running the first level of Halo 2 over, and over, and over again, I found that this audio filter does not play well with Halo 2. I was able to shut it down, and there were no further crashes. I re-enabled it to reproduce the crashes, and then disabled it again to fix the crashes again to be sure that it was the reason for it. I did this one more time to confirm and then completely played through the level, a first.

For those who do not have this filter, but have this random crash problem, try looking into what audio programs you have, like Creative's EAX and so on. Halo 2 does not like its audio adjusted in any way it seems.

For those who have problems installing Halo, type services.msc in run and check that "secondary login" is not disabled. If it is, just up it to manual. That was the only way I could get it to install on my computer.

Microsoft: You owe me.
