we just wanna kick ass and leave a footprint

I was playing halo custom edition or halo pc I can't remember and I brushed up against a key or something then I couldn't type to people or see people talk.

Help.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Something with an msxml file needs run, I believe.

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

What do I do with that file?

The same problem is also in regular PC too.

Double click on it and run it.

It just comes up to an install screen and says if I want to repair uninstall or custom change or something I clicked repair and I still can't talk.

Try to uninstall and reinstall. Restart before trying too.

If uninstalling and reinstalling, don't simply click 'reinstall'. Uninstall, restart the computer, then install the game from scratch. Saving your profile should be fine, though. Make sure you still have your CD-Key BEFORE you uninstall.

There's so much wrong with that post I don't know where to begin.
#1: You don't have to uninstall and reinstall either Halo PC or msxmlenu to get the text to reappear. All you have to do is click repair.
#2: Can you elaborate on the "negotiating connection" problem? Does it happen when you try to access the main gamespy server or when you're trying to join a game?
#3: If you're talking about ce as in Custom Edition then you have to download the user created map before you can play it. By the way you can't make maps with CE. Use the search function and you can find out all you need to know about map making. It's all been discussed before and that little white box I mentioned will save us all the trouble.

And for the love of god could you please put in a little effort before you post. Two lines of un-punctuated pseudo English is really not the best way to describe a problem.

I clicked repair and it didn't do anything.
Sometimes in random servers it says negoating connection to server and I can never join.
I also can not make games.

If you can't join some servers then find another one. The host of the server you're trying to join probably doesn't have his ports opened. A good way to see if you can join a server is to look at the ping display. It there is no ping then you can't join the server.

As for your text problem, well, repairing msxmlenu always worked for me.

I also can't make games.

I remember this started to happen when I went to re-download custom edition from a site, and the file wouldn't load it just kept saying 1% so I clicked cancel then I couldn't make games.

But the not typing or see people talk is a different problem.

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92
xfire:madkiller92

You can't make games or connect?
Well, that might be lag. 56K internet will have a massive lag (including text lag). So will a very slow/poor internet.
And are you using the camo fix string file? That makes text problems.
Damn, just noticed I lost heroic status, probably not active enough...

I'm pretty sure it's not due to network lag. And lag has one G.
