Really dude? Did you have an nividia card before this one? If not you need to install your drivers. And first thing I would do after that would be to go to the nvidia web site and then update my drivers again to the newest version. Tell me you didn't think you could run your 'CAR'd without drivers.

Another question, is everything else fine on your computer? Any other games that aren't playing or is it just Halo?

Its a common problem...lemmee guess...you start up halo and it gets to the second screen and closes before the opening producer logos. I had that too. If i click my mouse a billion times when the first screen pops up and the second screen pops up, it works fine. But thats just a loophole, and it dont work for everyone.

Theres also a thread at the top of the forum about this...its a sticky, so its always there. Its called WinXP SP2 compat fix, or something like that.

lol when i was reading the top of this thread i wanted to scream that u were totally trying to do the wrong thing to fix it, im glad u figured it out. It's great to know that there's another Halo PC fan out there. Given the # of people that are online I'm sure if they all joined this forum there'd be just as much posts here as in New Mombasa among other places.

^^^^ Well put. However, it's kind of nice in here. I suppose, though, that most of the pc crowd is a bit more 'civilized'. Here, it's quiet, reserved...New Mombasa and Zanzibar are like a preschool or a mosh pit. Here in the Maw I'm definately getting that coffee house with a fireplace vibe :D
