Hi there! everytime i launch halo 2 i get this error message:

initialiseation failed. Either insufficient system resources where found to run the game or game data is missing. Reinstalling the game may solve this problem.

I have reinstalled the game like 5 times and i have tested the CD on my sisters laptop. Her laptop which has lower specs can run the game but my laptop which has high than my sisters cannot. Weird huh?

Please help as i have been tryin to get this to work for ages.

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 (2 CPUs), ~1.9GHz

NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M

If you wish me to post a direct X report i can do so.

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

The video card is probably too weak since it's a mobile chipset on a laptop. Laptops aren't guaranteed to work with the game.

i'd like to point out the bit i said about it working on my sisters laptop and my laptop being high spec in all areas....

Also if u look, my graphics card is over the required in chipset size and its a better 1 thn stated on the box

You're going to need a better graphics card than that. Just because its "one over" doesnt mean it will run well. You will have a -blam!- experience if you get it to run. My advice: Get a better laptop or return the game.

I have checked the specs on the cards and my card is more thn sufficent to run it

BUT! it is a laptop, so it isn't guaranteed to work!

so wat ur sayin is go away cause we dont like people who use laptops and wont give much useful infomation....

I've been using laptops for games for ages so yeah i know when a laptop can be gd for gaming or not

The Geforce 7000 is the lowest of the low end of the spectrum in the entire 7 series.

what is your sisters video card? I garantee you anything between geforce 6600 and above can run it because those are the higher end 6 series cards.

beleive it or not a 6600 is far better than a 7000
