Hi,
After about a million google searches, and bumming around these forums a bit, I still have not found a solution to my problem. I'm using a Dell XPS M1530 laptop that I just bought a few weeks ago. I specifically bought it with Halo 2 Vista in mind. I got the game a couple days ago and the fact that I cannot run it in full screen is driving me insane. I hate playing games in a window. The full screen option will not put it in full screen, it just asks me if I want to revert to the previous settings, but nothing changed. It stays windowed. Is there anything I can do to play this game full screen?

I can post the full dxdiag if you need that. The thing is HUGE tho, I wasn't sure if it would all fit. Thanks for reading,
