i loath vista because all of my old games wont work even the first halo wont work on my computer....any one else like this?
Do you get an error message when attempting to start-up Halo PC? If so, can you post or PM me what exactly the error message is?
If you don't get an error message, and it simply doesn't load or work at all, then have you updated Halo to it's latest version? Here's a link to the latest update.
If after updating the game and it still doesn't work, have you tried re-installing it ? If not, try that.
If that doesn't work, try installing it to a custom directory. I think I had to do that myself. I have 64x Vista Ultimate. What version do you have?
I never heard of Halo PC not working on Vista, so I'm sorry, I'm not much help :) I'll Google about it though.
Oh, you can also try disabling UAC (User Account Control) by going to Start, Control Panel, then User Accounts. Now, at the bottom, it should say Turn User Account Control on or off. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on. Now try re-installing it. If it still doesn't work, then, well, I'm still googling :)
Also, running it in Compatability Mode may work. To do this, right-click on the shortcut you use to start Halo, click on Properties, then click the Compatability tab. Then, click on the checkbox next to 'Run this program in compatability mode for:,' then select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 2) This may or may not work, I'm basically guessing and writing down anything I can think of.
Are you sure you have all the latest drivers for your video and/or sound card? That may be the problem.
This page may help. I only glanced the first page, but it may provide your answer. The one person on there says to call Microsoft Tech Support. They probably won't be much help, but if every single other thing fails, then calling them wouldn't hurt.
I can't look for anything else right now, because I got my gallbladder out today, and I'm very tired. Still, I hope I helped! :D
