Dear Halo Gamers,
Ive had the halo game for a long time now. when i first got the game it installed fine. But then i reformated my Computer and now it will not install. i have wrote down the message it gives me. " The parameter is Incorrect [0x00000057] E:\redist\shfolder.exe " Now i dont not know what that means if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Ive been having this problem for a long time now and i miss my halo :(:(:(~! please help.

Make sure Halo is completely uninstalled. Then when you install it again, install it under C:\ProgramFiles. If that doesn't work, then I cant help you anymore.

If the above suggestion doesn't work, copy the files off the CD to a folder on your desktop and install Halo from there. I've run into a quirky problem similar to that on Win2000 with other instalation CDs. I'm not quite sure if you're having the same problem. In any case, post back with an update, please.

i just got this problem and it seems to be in the same circumstances (ie after a reformat) but i just clicked ok and it carried on with the installation. then it wouldnt write a file cant remember the name but it gave a permission error (ie i dont have permision to write to the drive or the drive is full) it aint full and why will all the other files write to the drive if i dint have permission?!

anyways the instlation completes and halo loads fine. the only problem i now have is in multiplayer chat. the chat box appears but there is no writing in it and no chat or kills appear in the game window. i had the same problem when i got a bigger monitor but fixed it by changing the resoultion. however i've gone through all the resolution settings and still no chat.

guess i'm gonna have to get team speak!!
