Heyyo,

Hmm, ok, do you have DirectX v9.0b at least? cause Halo won't run unless you do. After that, tell me your videocard, or better yet, you find video drivers for your videocard. if it's ati? http://www.ati.com if it's NVidia? http://www.nvidia.com

im pretty sure that he either means windows server 2003, or a newer build of xp than the 2002 one... i have never heard of anything called windows 2003 tho...

Ok, here is my problem, I use windows 2003 server edition, with the lastest directX9c vfor windows 2003 server, Halo itselfs is up to date. and I use the latest videocard drivers (for the nvidia geforce 4 4800 TI SE).
