If I got Halo PC or Halo 2 Vista, will it work on a 64-bit Windows Vista? I am concerned about the 64-bit part cause somethings don't work on my PC it is a 64-bit. Any help?

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.

I run Win7 64-bit and HPC runs fine. Actually, every 32-bit program I've ever used runs fine, so I'm curious as to what isn't working for you.

No, I don't have it. I am just saying like some programs don't work for my PC cause of the fact its a 64-bit.
One program is Microsoft Office 2007.

I actually run Office 2k7 32-bit on this PC. Weird how it isn't working for you.

If you don't like how I drive, then stay off the sidewalk!

Well then the disc is corrupt. That has nothing to do with x86/x64 compatibility.

On the box it says you need 32-bit PC. Thats why.
I have a bro who used it on 32-bit Vista. Worked fine.

Probably because his CD drive isn't broken.

32 bit apps work on x64 windows. If you run 16 bit software on 64 bit windows, you will get an error:

"This program is not for the version of windows you are using".

That's a minimum requirement. It will work on a 64-bit computer. If it didn't, I wouldn't have it installed on two of my computers. You're experiencing a different issue.

Try downloading the MS Office 2k7 32-bit demo, and then finishing the install using the CD key.

I've gotten H2V to work on Vista x64. Your CD drive is probably broken. Try putting in a music cd.
