What is your monitor's max screen resolution?

If you change to lower resolutions in the game does the problem persist?

That text problem is usually related to screen resolutions. I believe Halo only goes up to a 1600 x 1024 resolution. So what you could do is use the FoV Fixer shown here (scroll down until you find it): http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=61628443.

Hopefully it's not permanent. But what I've done in the past is use the freeware version of Revo Uninstaller and do an advanced uninstall of Halo. The advance uninstall gives you the ability to delete registry entries created by Halo and such. Also, it would help to select the "Remove saved games and data for all users?" option in the uninstaller.

If worst comes to worst you could buy a new copy of Halo.

No, Halo supports any, resolution larger than 640x480. Period.

You need to edit this

And yes I am lazy, I have more important things to do. :)

hope you fix it.

By any resolution do you mean 1920x1080? I'd really love to give it a go.

Super yes! That's my resolution too. Heck, I've even written a guide on this forum to potentially increase Halos graphics. Look it up, if your machine can handle it :)

My resolution is also 1920 x 1080P but that resolution is unavailable in video settings. So I'd like to ask you Zetren is there a way to set the resolution besides using -vidmode and or the FoV Fixer?

Some reason -vidmode does not work for me. FoV Widescreen Fixer on the other hand works but it makes everything look a bit stretched.

I have never heard a case of " -vidmode" not working. Are you using DX tweaker?

Fov fixer doesn't stretch anything. The HUDs resolution is 640x480, which means that it's stretched on every resolution except for 640x480, maybe that's what you think the streaching is? :)
