Subject: how do I get halo 1 pc to work on vista

I installed halo 1 on windows vista but it says "This program has known compatibility issues" Then when I click check for solutions it shows this.

Download updates for Halo

This problem was caused by a compatibility issue between Windows Vista and this version of Halo. This program was created by Microsoft Corporation.

An update is available that solves this problem.

Solution

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Get the Halo update from the Microsoft Corporation website.

but when I click the link it just takes me to bungie.net homepage. is there a way to get it to work on windows vista?

Really no need to click look for solutions, just click install anyways or whatever it is. Then make sure you run the game in admin mode so then it should get the updates automatically.

To Shadow Map: Open the properties for the Halo shortcut on your desktop and make this the target line: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo\halo.exe" -screenshot
I think the screencap button is F12.

I can't remember how to fix that, but if you have any more Halo PC problems at all just PM me to keep this thread on topic.
