im not sure if this fixes anything, if it is coincidence, or what, but it deserves investigation by whoever may be having a problem like this.

on my latest windows installation, i installed halo CE, then the 1.07 patch, then halo pc, then halo PC's 1.07 patch. i was having errors all over the place in halo pc. exception errors, loading errors, the whole deal. if i removed the my games folder from my docs it would work, until it saved something and loaded again.
it still did not work even after reinstalling halo pc. or uninstalling then installing again.

the thing that fixed it, which may or may not have actually done anything, was i uninstalled both games, and then installed halo pc, then halo ce.

my theory is, since this is the only time i have ever installed CE before PC, that installing ce before pc causes errors in save games. this causes exception errors and various other errors.

the fix: uninstall both CE and PC then install PC first. i have had no problems since.

if anyone has this problem, tell me if this situation is familiar, and then see if the fix works.

this may prove to be the solution to the common exception error on startup.

Interesting....I have re-installed Halo on many occasion's. But I have never done them both. CE has alway's been there and never re-installed.

Thank's for sharing that information. This may come in handy for many of us.
