Halo 1 & 2 for PC

Subject: HELP PLEASE

I need some help please, I really enjoy CE but my PC (which runs on fake windows XP) keeps crashing whenever I play it.
The sound loops much like when the disc freezes on the last gen consoles.
When my computer reboots it says it has recovered from a serious error, when I start CE it says it is not good enough to run but my computers spec is fine.

How much would it cost for a PC that can run Halo CE without any hitches on the highest spec?
Thankyou.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Be sure your pc has good cooling or hasn't been overclocked.

I got a similar sound loop freeze issue with cod4 once, except after that it went to a BSOD.

quick question >.<
how do you see your graphics card spec?
ive done dxdiag and my RAM and processor are both more than capable and im running Dirext X 9 which should be okay :D

  • 10.26.2010 7:03 AM PDT

When you run DXdiag.exe go to display, give us your graphics card name (and approx. memory). Also have you ever updated your drivers? That can help once in a while.

BTW what is "Fake Windows XP"?

  • 10.26.2010 8:33 AM PDT

Something smells fishy...

How old is your computer? Is it a Desktop or laptop? What is the brand and or model number of your PC? What graphics card do you have?

If you answer those questions then it will be easier to help you.

By fake I mean pirated and how to you update your drivers? Is it exspensive?
Oh and it's a 3yr old PC custom built with an nvidia graphics card. Don't know what model.

How to computer?
Isn't it time you learned?
System Specifications program

Run this program and paste everything in your next post accordingly.

Windows 7 would've been the better OS choice, because of auto-updates for drivers.

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.

If this guy's too poor to afford a legit OS, he's not gonna have a decent gaming rig.

Hell if I ever pirated a OS to run just CE I'd do 98 since you can use the key on infinite machines and requires nothing for specs.

Good thing Microsoft is never here, just like when we all complain how H2V sucks.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Yes stealing something is very cost effective. Thank you for DRM and increased costs passed on to all of us who don't steal. I can't wait until your parents cut you off and you have to get a job and pay for things. World is going to hit u like a ton of bricks kid.

People who have decent gaming rigs want them to be upkept with ease. You clearly don't know how to upkeep a computer manually, as your lack of knowledge in PCs in general shows through glaringly, so why pirate an OS and screw yourself out of auto-updates?

I wouldn't call the statement a "bit fallacious." But rather maybe a bit too conclusive. As in he's jumping to conclusions rather quickly.

No offense.

i wouldnt think that XP has very many auto updates now-a-days

Piracy ;_;

piracy happens, and there is nothing you can do to change it, and pirating from microsoft? since when is that a crime
ive had hundreds of dollars stolen from me by microsoft, they can go suck a dick.

piracy in general doesnt deal a significant blow to the software industry, dont kid yourself that it does.

you cant stop piracy, the only way to stop it is to get others to stop, and others simply dont care, you cant change that opinion. just like driving cars hurts the environment a bit, and if everyone stopped, it would do wonders

have people stopped driving cars?
can you stop people from driving cars?

of course good company's that make software DESERVE their hard earned money, and i almost never have a problem helping out in that sence, but other people dont care




TL;DR: -blam!- HAPPENS, DEAL WITH IT

Dude I'm 14 and not the brightest guy ever but atleast I can admit that yeah I don't know much about computers. Why do you have to resent me for that?
Makes me wander sometimes why I go on these forums :/
thanks to everyone who gave a decent contribution.

2k is better, since it doesn't bsod every 5 min. And unlike 98, you can acutially recover if you run a server and someone loops it. And yes, you can run CE on it, I run a CE server on 2k server.

In all seriousness though, just get Vista/7 free from MSDNAA, or install server 2k8/2k8r2 from dreamspark. It's legal too, since it's from MS.

And windows 7 isn't that expensive anyway if you can't get access to either, it's only $100.
