I know you said you don't have any mods but you wouldn't happen to use a "trainer" prog would you? because the same thing happens with those if you save with one of those active as if you save with a mod installed. which will require you to uninstall and reinstall halo if you don't have any back ups of the particualr level you are trying to load. now keep in mind that some trainers will "restore" the files after they are closed and halo is closed but it is possilbe that it didn't properly uninstall itself... and don't be ashamed to admit if you did use a trainer cuz while using a trainer to beat Halo sp is kinda lame they can be a lot of fun too. see my video for some short clips of a devtrainer in use (warthg jumping... tank jumping....)

do an uninstall of halo (don't reinstall) , then install it. U don't have to remove saved games and such. ( u need ur cd key by the way)

lawrence, if you could copy and paster the entire contents of the detailed error report, I'll have a look at it - might use a text file.

I couldn't read it all because it was a pic and I couldn't scroll the box down...

Ioniz's suggestion would probably help too, if you get to that point.

hmm that scks.. the only thing i can think of is the very rare circumstance that u saved the campaign exactly at the point when a real exception came up and because of the fact that u saved at that very point all the saves for campaign have now been corrupted, so when u load the save, there u are loading on that exception. So basically the only way to fix the problem is to either start a new game, or if that doesn't work maybe u can just manually delete the saves, cause in the worst case scenario you'll just have to delete your profile.

also another thing came to mind after u said that thing about FRAPS, perhaps u should try opening up that save with FRAPS on.
