Wow, that is the most usless request for help I have ever seen. YOu don't even provide us with ANYTING to help you with. Why does the game not work? Does it give you an error? Does it freeze? Does your computer reboot randomly? Is your scope all one color? Can you hear audio, but can't see video?

Seriously, you should put these kinds of things in your posts, so you don't make yourself look like an idiot.

Once you opened dxdiag, did you actually check to see if direct draw was enabled, or did you just close it after it opened?

You have Direct 3D. It is part of DirectX, which gets installed with Halo. For what it's worth, might you be running Windows XP, service pack 2? What video card are you using? Here are two things you can do before you make another reply on this board:

-update directX to the latest version
-update your video drivers to the latest version
