Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

I have downloaded it 3 times and really tried everything but it wont work. It loads and it just shows the startup picture and the main menu music, you can still scroll through menu's but you cant see what your doing... Any solutions?

Just checking, did you download Halo: Custom Edition from Halomaps.org? If you didn't I highly suggest you do.

If you did download it from Halomaps.org it could be that you need to change the game's resolution.

Also, try running the game in windowed mode.

To run it in windowed mode:
1) Right click Halo: Custom Edition shortcut.
2) Select properties.
3) Put "space"-window at the end of the target line.

I guess you could run the game in safe mode. Put -safemode at the end of the target line.

Other than that I'm not sure.

I think I had a problem with the mouse not showing up once, I don't recall how I fixed it though, try a reinstall without any added maps etc?
Or is it is just a frozen picture? Check the task manager to see if there's a related process that isn't closing.

Its just stuck on the startup picture but the menu is all loaded up and you can go through the menu's and everything, you only se the startup pic and not the menu. "Related" Process?

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.

Try forcing off anti-aliasing in your video card's settings.

I sugest you download the latest drivers for your graphics card.



Or get Windows XP
