front, back, top, bottom, inside, on the booklet, in the booklet...

I think gaming companies have a guy whose only job is to invent new places to put the product key...

I have a Problem as well, i just got halo pc yesterday and i got it installed but whenever i try to play it and window pops up and says:

Halo - Fatal Error
a problem occurred initializing DirectDraw. Hardware Acceleration maybe
disabled, please run DXDIAG

i found the hardware acceleration and tried that and it didn't work,
whenever i run DXDIAG, it says unable to support current country setting. change the country to U.S.A in the tray helper application

and on the microsoft website I found a page where it told me to use this thing
called ''hotfix 1.05', i found 1.07 and that still didn't work.
please help i'm a big fan of halo and it would be greatly appreciated

Here's an idea. Try editing the shortcut to Halo, and add these options to the end of the command line:

-use11 -vidmode 480,360,60

This is a wild guess, and even if it does work, your cursor will not be visible when you enter chat text.


i don't quite understand

Best to take it back and get another copy, your CD key is vital as it is your identity on MP aswell, and the Key is located just above the CD holder inside.
