Subject: I Can't Update?

Hello. I've tried to reinstall Halo PC and CE yesterday but I've had a problem that's common between both games. The installation goes well but whenever I try to update the games to 1.08.616, my computer fails to give me the chktrust prompt. I've tried updating within the game. I've tried running haloupdate.exe. I've also download both halo(pc/ce)108.exe and ran that. Everytime the update is downloaded, the whole process stops. I can't figure out why my computer won't show me the chktrust prompt to allow the patching to continue. Also, I am using a legitimate CD and CD key to install. Does anyone have any solutions?

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Info on your PC would help. Especially in terms of the OS.

Model: Dell Inspiron 6000
RAM: 512 MB
Graphics: Integrated Intel (8MB)
OS: Windows XP SP3

The machine is 5 years old but it could install and run Halo PC and CE easily (as long as I turned some video and audio settings to low.) The problem is new.

Also, thanks for the link. I'll read it right now.
