New to game..having same problem and looked around and found this thread.
Here's my ordeal because I can't post(sorry for taking your topic but same ordeal applies so best place):
I recently bought Halo at wally world for 20 bucks, and I have the trial. The trial works perfect. Now, before I had the trial/game I had some cruddy 16 mb card, and just upgrade to some 64 mb card which runs it okay. I have recent drivers installed for that. However, when I try to play the game, I get the error:
One of the vital folders or files is either missing or corrupt(shaders/fx.bin)
So I called Microsoft, and they were no help. They told me go and change the path directory, same ordeal. Then they told me to go and exchange you game. I did, same problem yet again. So, being the stupid idiot I am, I figured, copy the working file from the demo and put it on the game. In theory it would of worked..however in reality it didn't. Here's my specs for my comp, they should run it, not smooth, but run it
733 mhz
Windows 98
64 mb card(Nvidia Geforce 2 MX64-DDR)
And then the other is also the same as required.
So, since I figured that most people on forums have helped me much much more than the actual creators, does anyone have any ideas or help?(Again for the 3rd time, sorry for posting on your thread)
Nevermind, I have finally fixed it. Just had to do a few things...Anyhow..for your problem...have you tried getting direct help via phone? Normally that helps me, except in my Halo case they told me nothing...And see if it's at all possible to contact ATI
