Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

You're probably using an Integrated card. You're new with PC's, right?

Find a new video card.

No. Even with a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, those were enabled..

First of all what size gfx card is it like 128,256, etc..I had the same problem before I knew much about gfx. I was using the gfx card on the motherboard which was 64 mb. I upgraded to a Geforce 5500 256 mb. If you are gonna get a new gfx card make sure it fits the slots your computer has (pci,agp,pci express) And idk if you have vista or plan on getting it but make sure it supports vista also.<<You said your not new to pc's so everything I just told you was probably stuff you knew already =P O well. When you first installed halo a warning may have popped up saying halo requires this to run and you have this. It has a continue anyway or continue in "safemode" If you chose safemode then that may be the problem and in this case you will have to uninstall then reinstall.

Then the gfx card is your problem. Its not good enough to show things such as shadows, decals, armor color. When I first got halo pc everyone was grey and I was like wtf why is it like that. Then I figured out it was my gfx. Now your next task is to figure out wether you have pci,agp,or pci express for gfx card installation.

You might be right, but he/she still needs to change cards.
