I know this is probably an oft-repeated topic, but when I try to start Halo CE, it pops up a message saying: A problem occured initializing DirectDraw. Hardware acceleration may be disabled, please run DXDIAG. Now...I have done all this! I have downloaded the Auto Patcher and that other thing (forget what it is). I have checked the hardware accelerator and I have run DXDIAG. Why won't it work???? And yes, my computer does meet the minimum requirements as I have played Halo CE a while back on this same computer.

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

What exactly are your specs?
