I GOT PEOPLE ON MY SIDE

Whenever I start up Halo Custom Edition, it screws up. My menu starts up, i can hear the music and the sound it makes when you push the arrow keys and enter, but it is just stuck on the picture that appears when you start it up.

Halo PC works fine, and Halo CE used to work, then I got my graphics card upgraded, and now it doesn't work. I have uninstalled it, and reinstalled it many times and it still doesn't work, I have even re downloaded the whole thing. The installation works perfectly, but when I try to run it, it stays on that start screen. You can even hear the music. Any ideas on how to fix it, because I really want to play Halo CE.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

If your graphics card is NVIDIA.,go into NVIDIA Control Panel and set anti-aliasing to "application controlled".

Halo CE Loads but cannot see menu

Symptom:
You start Halo Custom Edition (CE) and it loads normally, you see the Halo animation hear the music but cannot see the menu items. Clicking around you can hear the menu activation beep/sound.

Cause:
Most new video drivers especially those for Vista now have the anti-aliasing set to ON as default. You need to turn off or set to application controlled the anti-aliasing setting in your video driver. Be sure you set it for the haloce.exe program and not just Halo (halo.exe). The Halo Custom Edition (CE) game has different video routines that use “fast shaders” to improve the visuals and those routines do not operate with anti-aliasing set to on in the video driver. The Halo PC retail version does not utilize the enhance graphic routines. That is why Halo PC works with anti-aliasing when Halo CE doesn't.
