ARRRGG!!!! I installed Halo CE with no problems. (it only took 9 and a half hours to download) But, when I click on "multiplayer", it puts Halo on the toolbar, makes a popup that says "Gathering exception data", then wants to send an error report to Microsoft because the program screwed up. Then Halo CE quits.

I know that other people have had this problem. Does anyone know the solution?

I'm running:
AMD Thunderbird? 800 MHz
512 MB RAM
16x48x DVD-ROM
30 GB HD
Windows 98SE
Halo 1.06 hotfix

I've got a network card (I'm pretty sure it's got drivers) and a modem that's installed correctly, but no Internet connection and I'm not connected to a LAN.

firewall? I don't have an Internet connection. And I'm pretty sure the previous owener didn't install a firewall.

re-booting doesn't work and re-installing wouldn't work cuz I have this problem with Halo, as well. Whenever you click "multiplayer" on either Halo or Halo CE, they do the stupid "gathering exception data" junk.

any suggestions?

Reinstall PC, CE uses files from PC.

What? no it doesn't halo CE can be installed without halo PC

why are you getting halo CE if you don't have an internet conection?
and i still think it's a firewall issue.. if halo can't get through to your "network" it doesn't work. if you have no way to conect to a network (modem, Ethernet port), it might not work like it should

Since Halo PC multiplayer doesn't work, I wanted to see if I could get Halo CE multiplayer to work. So I know now that this problem isn't just with Halo PC, but is a bigger problem.

Plus, the Single player campaign mode was getting boring, and I wanted to explore the new multiplayer levels that came with PC.

...Then how did u download it....

ANYWAY

Hmm, the system seems fine, that proc was a barnburner in its day, but still holds some merit. I think it's a firewall issue. Either that or the 'previous owner' messed up the system. If this happens a lot, there are many problems, and you don't mind the 3 hours or so of work reinstall windows. I do that every 6 months on my pc to keep it squeeky clean.
