I don't know what's with me, but I have several things going nutty with my Halo PC. My Master Chief is always white. His visor is black not gold. All covenant are white. All multiplayer MCs are white, the ground is not textured but painted. I don't know whats wrong, at my friends house, I played the same program with better graphics! My vid card is some Intel 85G something from Dell. Please help. I want to at least have my MC appear green and players appearing Red and Blue instead of all white. i tried -use and -useff and such and it wont work.

It's because your video card sucks hard. It sounds like yours is integrated which means it's going to be crap. You'll have to buy a new, good video card and install it. After you do that you'll have to go into your BIOS and disable the onboard video. This is all assuming that you have any slots left to install a video card, whether it be AGP, PCI, or PCI-E.

Someone on this forum has the link to special drivers for the Intel integrated video chips in his signature. Those will most likely solve your problems.

Unfortunately, I forgot who it was... could that person step forward please? lol

Vectorracer?

If you want to play any games coming out this year, or that have been released since Halo, I suspect you're going to need to get a better graphics solution...

That fix will probably solve your HPC problems, but what about playing BF2, FEAR, WoW, anything?

The solution is definately to get a nice graphics card. That will afford you performance to play on today's games.
