I've seen this problem before. The only reliable way I've seen to fix it is to uninstall Halo, go into the registry and remove every occurence of "Halo", then reinstall Halo. Beware, manually editing the registry can be very risky, i.e. your computer may cease to boot into Windows if you delete the wrong thing or change the wrong thing. It's a very common problem in Windows that when you uninstall programs, some files and registry entries are not removed.

After the uninstall check to see that the following items no longer exist.

Files -
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo
C:\Documents and Settings\~current user~\My Documents\My Games\Halo

Registry -
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo

Thx I'll try..but I don't seem to get this part.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo

oO..where do I find it without having to copy and paste it..then press 'Go' and find a unavilable website? :P.

*Edit*

Didn't work :(. Probably because I didn't delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo .

Couldn''t find it!

That's a registry key you need to delete. Go to Start...Run...type regedit, when the registry editor comes up, hit F3 to do a search for Halo.

Yes, I always have to run it on safe mode ><! It don't work if I just press safe mode when I start it..I got to hold the Left Ctrl Key And Start It So I get this error saying 'You Hold The Control Key While Running Halo' or something like that, then press Continue in 'Safe Mode'. If I don't do that halo won't run..it will just close with a error saying my viedo has serious issuses with the game :S.

No bumping your own posts. Sorry, I realize you're having a problem, but it's a rule around here. Bump it again like that and I'll have to lock it.

The problem may be because you run in safe mode. If you've tried the fixes people have suggested, and it's still not working, I would assume safe mode is responsible.

you cant chat on halo because your in safe mode. and you cant run halo because your vid drivers are out of date. so you can either go through all the troubles of looking for new drivers(good luck with that btw) or just go out and buy a 64, 128, 256 card. i suggest the latter. that will slove both your problems
