My computer is very fast and has good graphics. But when I play halo the stains of blood, burned floors\walls or bullet marks don't appear. How can i fix that? P.S. I can't turn on decals because I can't click on it.

if you catn turn on decals then maybe your graphics card isnt good. What graphics card do you have?

ummmm... Direct x 8 isn't a video card....

But it is your video card I believe. I had an old Ge Force Mx 440, where I couldn't select the advanced settings, then I upgraded to a radeon 9800 aiw pro, muuuucccchhhh better.....

Edit: (and if you have Directx 8, download Directx 9b or 9c)

go to http://www.microsoft.com and click DirectX, but be forewarned, u cant uninstall DirectX 9.0c if u have XP or ME, but the graphics do look better, that is if you are running a good video card

Its your video card, you need a better one most likely. Right click on your desktop, go to properties, then settings, then tell us what is says under display (what video card you have)

umm, this is a little off topic, but, to make sure directx 9.0c is installed, press the windows key, next to alt, next to the right of the spacebar, and at the same time as holding the windows key, hold r, then a screen should POP up, type in dxdiag, and from there u should be able to check out what DirectX version u have!

I actually had that video card until about a year ago. Yeah, thats your problem. With that card I couldn't turn on many of the graphical features, and the textures looked like crap. I'd get a better card.
