ok, what i suggest, w/out know ur specs or anything, uninstal game, then manually delete anything else related to halo that might be left over. check the folder u installed it on, delete that.
then reinstal.
you could also try defragging your comp.
nothing technical, just some general suggestions, other people can help you with more technical things if need be im sure.

Heyyo,

Hmm, your system's strong enough to run the game, that's for sure. Usually when the game says "gathering exception data" that's not your fault, but buggy coding. All you can really do is pray that next patch is more stable...
