Okay, herehow it goes. First, I was in my home town, a nice quiet place, and I just brought my 4 year old Labtop. But, After I typed in the CD-Key, Yea, everything went fine, but when I found out I had a crappy Trident graphics card, My hopes fell, just after I had bought a controller and the game for PC.
Two days after, I returned back to my house to run it on my desktop, with a radeon graphics card and AMD CPU and what ever, very high tech.
I ran the download cleint, everything was fine until I tried to run the client.
After I rebooted, I ran Halo, And it said invalid CD-Key.
Can some one help me out? Thanks

Heyyo,

After much fiddling around (damn this crappy Halo installer...) I was able to extract my HaloPC registrys from me another computer (cause it loaded the setup.exe file...) and then when I tried to copy it to my comp and run it, it said "Invalid or corrupted cd key, please reinstall". So I scavenged around, n' extracted the registry entries from the other comp that worked fine, and placed them on my comp, worked fine... here's how to do this:

Go on the computer that installed HaloPC fine, and do this:

Start > Run > regedit

now, go to this location:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\MICROSOFT GAMES\HALO]

and then extract that halo folder, it should contain all the needed information. It should extract it as a '.reg' file if you did it right...

Now, if you installed halo inna different directory, you'll need to edit the registry key, like this:

Right-click onnit (secondary-click for you lefties), and go edit.

now, look for where it shows the install directory, and change it. REMEMBER for folder changes do the double backslashes (\\) and not a single one (\) or else it might not work right.

Then? double-click that registry file, and add it to your registry. It should work fine then. ;)
