I have just built a new computer with a k8t msi neo fis2r and and 3200+ amd 64 with a 9600 xt video card. I have downloaded the newest cataylst drivers. When I start the game I can see the blue pills things and then the ball for the microsoft ad appears then the game freezes or hangs. The sound continues and I can press the arrow keys up and down and I can hear the cursor sounds however I can not see the halo main menu. I have turned off the fast write in the ati control panel and I have downloaded the newest patch 1.04

Any ideas for tips would be great.
Thanks

Have you turned off anti-aliasing in the ATI control panel, or ar at least set it to application-controlled?

What about Directx? Did you update your motherboard yet? Did you update your AGP driver yet? Remember. MSI expects all their users to update the hardware and bios.

You can try starting the game with the "-useFF" option which seems to fix a lot of problems. It turns off many of the features of the game which can cause conflicts depending on your graphics card. Create a shortcut, right click "Properties", add "-useFF" to the end of the "Target" field and start the game. This speeds up gameplay a lot if nothing else.
