Okay, here's the deal; I have had Halo PC for about 2 years now. Everything was fine from the moment i got it on Christmas 2003 (or 2004?) till about 6 months from now. After that, when i load some of the multiplayer maps (derelict, prisoner, rat race, etc.) the game just froze. But that was really the only problem, and didn't bother me TOO much.

One month ago, my dad uninstalled Halo because, ahem, i got a bad grade and could not touch the computer for 3 weeks. Not long ago i tried to install it. For the first 5 minutes, everything went smoothly. Then i noticed that the installation bar was stuck at 38%, on the a30.map or a40.map and in a few minutes there was an error message. This was not the first time i have seen this, for some time before i went to my friends house and tried to install Halo there. Same error mesage. So now, im stuck here with absolutely nothing to do on my comp except play RuneScape. (Damn new MSN Messenger Version is corrupted too)

Basically, i would appreciate any advice to get Halo PC up and running again.

clean your disc with a dry, lint free cloth. that should help. But, if it's scratches, nothing we can do.

You can get this thing called the game doctor from most games retailers which repairs most scratches and fingerprint marks. I think its around £20

Okay, i'll try and clean it. But i haven''t seen any scatches, so that's a good sign.

I have read posts about how sometimes SP/2 is messing with your online play, so that can also be a problem.
