I currently do not have the ability to activate decals, shadows, or reflections. The reason for this is because it says my graphics card is incapable of using these because it is below hardware standards. However, I am using internal graphics (Yes I know that Halo is not customized for Internal Graphics but it should still at least partially work since it does have acess to over 128 MBs of my ram) and they are actually capable of playing Starwars Battlefront 2, a 2005 game on high settings on most maps.

Anyway, is it possible for me to make it where these options are no longer grayed so that I can turn them all on as when I play Team Slayer and normal CTF it is hard to tell who is on what teams. Anyway, I hope that you will be able to assist me with this.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Thanks to K-121: http://www.download.com/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-Driv er/3000-2108_4-10300118.html and ram by the way has no bearing on the technical details you can add to a scene.

It ididn't work. Did you do anything else in order for it to work on your computer? Also, your graphics card is required to have at least 32 MBs of RAM in order to work with Halo correctly. I think you are confusing RAM, Random Acess Memory, with the amount of space you have in your harddrive. However, the only reason I posted that was so that I could ask for an exact bypass method.

Man google that. But in all honesty, you can buy a add on card to your pc for like $30 that will play halo pc quite nicely.

It's actually worth it, I play h1 instead of h2pc... i just couldnt hang with the mouse slowness in h2pc any longer.

No, I don't have an integrated graphics card. I have always had a card capable of directx9 since the game was released(9700 pro -> 9800 pro -> 6800 GT SLI -> 8800 gtx)

Nope, don't confuse speed with the supported API. A directx 9 class card with 16 MB of ram would be able to support all of the details of halo, it just won't run very well at all.

Why do you say that?

Well what I posted was more of a generic response as most people with integrated cards have an intel and that usually fixes it. It was a guess as to what card you had since you did not post any of the information that we needed.

I guess I am responsible for the last quote box, yes I do use Intel Integrated Graphics Accelerator 2 or whatever it is called. However, it is working, Thanks for the help though and if you have anyother ideas please tell me them. Also, I guess I am not as tech savvy as I though I was. Thank you for correcting me and I'll try to double check my facts next time.

Also, to anyone who is going to say buy a new graphics card. I barely had enough money to spend in order to buy the game (I work minmum wage) so I really don't have anything to spend on much else.

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 better off saving more money then.
