I installed Halo 1, and everything went through smooth. But when I go to run it, the Halo image comes up, then goes away, the game doesn't resume starting, and my computer freezes.

I haven't a clue what to do.

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.

Could be so many things. Can you post what parts your computer has, video card/chip, sound card/chip, Windows version, driver version for your video card/chip? I know that's annoying, but it could help narrow down the problem.

Also, try editing the desktop shortcut, and in the target line after halo.exe add a space and then -safemode. It might just run that way, though it will have no sound and bad graphics in safe mode.

I think it's something with my video card, because it won't run the game and I tried to go to the nvidia control panel and it froze up.

Try to download latest driver from your card at nvidia.com then uninstall your current driver and install the new one.
