Heyyo,

Hmm, did you try defragging your computer? usually helps things run smooth, insept for Battlefield Vietnam.. every time I reformat that game messes up and I have to reinstall.. soo messed.

Also run spyware scans and virus scans. Usually spyware scans run those once every 2 weeks or so, virus you might wanna do once every 1 or 1 & 1/2 weeks.

HaloPC is very graphics intensive since they diddn't optimize the game well, did you or someone crank your graphics settings? might wanna check that.

of course if it ran halo before, you should definatly run spyware and adware checks.
it may run on your card, but not if there's a lot of junk taking up valuable processor space
