Whenever I download ANYTHING (a map, the new patch, or a custom ui) from anywhere, my screen for halo custom editon comes out like this:

And my haloce.exe says:

I don't know why it is happening, I modify NOTHING, except for adding new maps to the map folder (and I even tried re-downloading maps), and event tried using custom maps without the manual patch.

And, whenever I try to join a game/ make a sever, i get an Exception error.
(when I change around settings, I get some blue letters, and Very messed up colors, and checks and patterns)
For some reason, on halo custom edition, I can't use custom UI's, custom maps, and even reinstalling won't work. All it'll let me do is play normal maps on v1.07 from auto-update.

And my graphics card is capable of running it, it is a Nvidia 8600gt.
This only started happening after i decided to use a different cd key of mine because my little brother got me banned form a sever.

It's fixed. I had to use a freeware program to do an advanced uninstall, to remove some program I couldn't get to with the normal uninstall.

reinstall it.
I said I did already did, READ:
and even reinstalling won't work.
at least, not a normal reinstall.

and if ur little brother got u banned then y don't u just make a new profile
Your banned via CD-Key, NOT profile.

That's very unusual. It runs fine until you download another file? That makes no sense to me...

What if you create a new text file and put it in the maps folder? Does that break the game? What if you rename it to something.map? Start narrowing down the possibilities until it makes sense.

I got it fixed, I had to use a free ware program provided for me at halomaps.org to delete halo, then make it find extra files to delete that were left over.

For some reason, a copy of the new halo patch ,and some old map files that weren't even in use/in the halo custom edition folder were causing it.
