I deleted the gamespy server because I heard you don't need it to play halo 1 PC online, but when I go to online multiplayer it says that I need administrator privilages to download this patch, I do not know what that means. Can anyone help?

I'll assume you're on Vista. Have you tried right-clicking the application shortcut, and going to "Run as Administrator" yet? And is your Vista account an admin, too?

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Yes, try this. If it's XP make sure you are signed in on an Admin account OR locate the halo directory. it usually is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Then there should be an application saying Halo Update or updaters, just double click that then it will update, but still be on an admin account.
