Now I've had Halo PC for around 6-8 months, and all it has been doing is sitting in my cabinet desk. This is becasue my game when i install it and loads up has just been stuck in the loading screen. It doesn't boot up to the main menu, it just stays at the loading screen. Please help me.

P.S. Sorry this has been around i think my fourth or fifth time doing this type of thread. But i need help really bad as i want to really play this great game everyone's been talking about.

Also, hello everony i'm new to the forums and have been posting for around 3 or 4 days now, hope to keep posting activly here. :)

im pretty sure youve asked this like 5 times already. Once again, its not a problem with your graphics card, its halo itself. Uninstall it and reinstall halo, and its should run. You dont need to take your computer out of the cabinet to do it.

I really do need graphic help. Im replying here because I just signed up today trying to find help, but can't post for 24 hours. Anywho - I can't see myself, others or weapons just an occasional glow from weapons. I have updated my graphics card to the latest version and verified I have direct X 9 - any ideas?

NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX 100/200

I'm off to see what the great google has to say - but if anyone has an idea please reply asap. I have a friend talking smack and I must frag him tonight.

Forgive my noobness, but where is the patch? I have gone to play via internet and installed the updates that came there - is there somewhere else to check?

well has a screen that says some thing about please run DXDIAG? cuz i know the fix for that search google for "halo strings.dll" and you download that then you can past it to your halo directory and try running the game again it should run. or saerch for "halo hotfix" then run that program and it should work. if not get a new video card and check the min specifications by going to start then go to run then put in DXDIAG and check if you have the right stuff

Well I found out my problem, the geforce 2 mx doesnt support pixel shading. Pretty sucky the microsoft sites lists my card as a supported one when it wont actually support it. NVIDIA has a whole slue of cards that don't support this see link

The Microsoft site actually states that 3D T&L is required, rather than Pixel Shaders.

You may want to call tech support.
