Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

What are your specs?

Try this. Uninstall the game, Then put the disc back into the computer and hit "customize game install"

Then, choose "fully install, do not start" let it install and whatnot. Try running it after that.


If it does not work still make sure you have up to date drivers on EVERYTHING.

Let us know how it goes man.

Don't even bother reinstalling anything. What's your specs? I get the same error for months, can't play it yet. I think it's because your graphics card isn't good enough. I just got a new one though, so it should work

Above poster is right. If you get that error message is basically means that you cannot run the game because your computer specs are below the required.

My sticky post clearly states that 94.8% of the time all integrated chips/cards will not work or function correctly with Halo 2 Vista.

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92
xfire:madkiller92

a 1.6 mhz and a integretd intel will never run halo 2 or anything nice. with an integretd intel u could play a game from mabey 5 years ago at most with some ugliness. and still 5-7 year old games get lag!.
