When I load halo: PC, it comes up, then there's a black square in middle of my screen

I exit out, and STILL get "gathering exception data!"

I've un-installed, re-installed, etc. nothing

should I buy a new game?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I still think you need to backup your files and re-install Windows.

It does. It'll skip the loading screen, and go straight to the black screen, about 440x400 in size

I can hear the music, if I move the mouse around in the box, i can hear the little sounds it makes when you go over a menu selection

my main video card is set to my 8500GT, I have 1.5GB RAM, and a good CPU

Is Anti-Aliasing on?

I'll try that now

I had AA set to program controlled, I can turn it off

I'll update drivers too


AA is turned off. re-installing game as the drivers are being downloaded.

Once I get money from the navy I'll have a sweet gaming rig

nothing worked at all. maybe the new halo pc update would work

Just to clarify, what are the exact specifications of your PC?

Mainly, what OS are you running and drivers for your video card.

HPC doesn't support AA. Mac does though, but you know, it's still a Mac.

Glad you got it working! We should play together sometime soon. Sorry for my constant "re-install!" but that's usually what I do when things go wrong.
