I have had the same problem. From doing some research, it turns out the UK version of Halo runs at 50hz. Microsoft have set the VGA cable to output at 60hz, hence the reason it wont run. This also means you wont be able to update Halo2, as it reverts back to 50hz for the upload screen for some odd reason.
This has been been a major oversight of either Microsoft or Bungie. By the looks of things, only Americon games were tested with the VGA cable, so no-one knew this was going to happen. Hence the reason a lot of people went out and bought the VGA cable (and new monitors) to get teh best possible experience for the 360, only to find they had a heap of problems.
Ive logged a call at Microsoft about this, but as of yet havnt been called back. I suggest as many of you do the same, as it could be the only way to have this resolved. They dont seem to be listening.
If anyone at Bungie can shed any light on this problem, and could tell us if there will be a patch soon, it would be appretiated. Im loosing faith in Microsoft.
