I can't see the text in Halo 1 for the PC. I have an SLI system that's pretty new & have dl'd the new version 1.08, but I can't see any text where it shows you who killed you or who you betrayed or when you text someone a message. Any clues please?

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

Look for a file called msxml.exe or msxml.msi

It should be somewhere in the Halo folder. Then run that.

Would running that also help me get rid of flashing text that doesn't always show up?

Or is that just a problem custom resolutions cause?

For custom resolutions, use a custom chat-box.

I'm not sure if it works for that problem, but it fixes my text not showing up problem.

I had a file called msxmlenu that was executable in my Halo folder, but when I ran it it stopped at an error & told my my computer was not modified for this file to be ran at the time??? No matter what resolution I'm on, I can't see any text???

I had that problem, and it fixed it.

Just install an msxml redistributable file, and it should fix it right up. Assuming, it's only in-game chat-text that's being messed up [which I'll assume it is] =]

Where could I find a msxml redistributable file? I've tried applying the msxml.msi file & it stops in the middle & gives me the same error. & when I go to find a similar one, it's the same exact one the MS had on their site & in the Halo file that keeps giving me the error. I also dl'd a higher version of this, but it didn't make any difference.
