http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=454908

When i Install The Strings.dll i get the halo currupter .exe error and i am using 1.06 when i try just to install the blinkw32.dll alone without the strings.dll the game run's but i cannot connect to any servers! , The strangest thing is when i play Halo Custon Edition I can see all the text !!! but in normal halo i cant! Whats the deal here?

Cheers

Justin
