well my topic got deleted so.... pretty much i cant type anything when im playin halo multiplayer mode, or read it in the corner where the dialogue appears. everything else in the game works fine, but theres no text. the text box will open but i cant type anything in it. when i press enter, it sends like there was actually something there, but i cant see it.
so far posting in other tech. support forums hasnt helped, so im starting a new thread.
my original topic about this has been deleted, or lost, i dont know what happened to it, but if u read this, please help out.

ok well the reason I ignored this post is because I don't know how to help you, I honestly have no idea and I'm sure that's the reason no one else has said anything, maybe they're too afraid to admit they don't know. but anyway at least you know someone read your thread and you're not being ignored. I can only suggest re-installing the game. sorry I can't be more help than that.

ps don't worry this forum ignored my last thread aswell about dedicated servers.

you could try running msxmlenu.exe in your halo directory. I've heard that recommended by some other people before but I don't know exactly what it does.

just for the record, if you type, people will still be able to read what you say. that beaing said......

go to you c:/......halo directory. in it there should be a file sort of like mimenu.msi. i don't know the exact name of it; im not at home
run that file (choose the 'repair' option) and that should fix you're problem

Heyyo,

yeah, it's called that mslxmenu.msi it's good to have. So now you know skippy, tell them to either search the forum manually for threads like this or the actual fix. ;)
