well when i downloaded the demo for halo i could open the game but all i saw was the background

the menu wasnt there but i could use the arrow keys and enter to select something on the menu

when i am playing the game all i can see is the halo background but i can shoot and i can hear myself shooting and stuff

the menu isnt there but i can start the game

and my video card is a SAPPHIRE (ati powered) 9600 XT

do they not support SAPPHIRE or something?

which ones?

EDIT- as well, the 9600xt should have no prob whatsoever running halo pc.. even if its a third party one from gecube, gigabyte, or sapphire (their still exactly the same). Have you tried you card with other games, mabye you got a defective one..

I'm having the exact same problem. I have 9600XT. When I start the game, the intro clips
play then the screen goes black. I can hear the music play and I can hear the mouse
as it moves over the menu buttons, but all I see is a black screen. I have latest drivers
and latest patch but it's no good. I tried different display settings, different resolutions, turned
down acceleration, nothing works! Anyone got an idea on how to fix? The game runs fine
in safemode, but sucks to play with no sound.

Specs:
AMD 3400+
ATI 9600XT
WindowsXPHome
Dell 19 inch CRT Monitor
Creative SB Audigy 2
1024 Memory
