I have a cable connection of 1mb download and 128kb upload, so it should be like a slow DSL connection.
McKeegan_WRX, I hope that with "powercycle my box" you mean that I should upgrade my pc hardware, which I will do in the near future. And yes, I am able to play the single player campaign game without any problem.
I will try to do a full clean re-install of halo. This problem appeared all of a sudden, so perhaps I’ll try to even to format my hard drive and start from cero to see what happens, however I’ll like to try some ideas before.
Thanks.
"Powercycle" is geek speak for "Restart," or "Turn it off, then turn it back on." Your PC currently meets the requirements to play HaloPC, plus you've played it on this PC before, so I don't believe it's a hardware issue; it's got to be software related, which the uninstall-reinstall should help.
If the uninstall-reinstall does not work, then there's something else going on in your PC that's software related. What were the last few things you downloaded/installed before Halo stopped working? If the re-install doesn't help, remembering what software changes were made on the machine, and then "un-doing" those software changes should fix the issue.
