I had this problem too, and I'm still not sure what to do. My computer wouldnt work for any games. Two days later i re-installed my graphics card. (reinstalled nvidia). Go to your graphics card maker's site, and make sure you have current drivers. If that fails re-install halo ce. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Hmm, he has a 9600XT, I had that card for a few years. It's pretty good.

Is DirectDraw and Direct3D enabled in dxdiag (run > dxdiag), and what are your AGP settings in Catalyst or your vid card settings menu?

Heyyo,

He's got the 256MB version of the 9600XT, and he might have SP2.. so he might need the SP2 fix for 256mb vid cards for halo..
