Ok, I am truely cursed. every mod, add on or program that runs in, with or even around Halo makes me have to re-install the game every time I try to use it, and that is getting really annoying. anyone else have this problem? FRAPS, Xfire and the 3rd person mod all do this, Im afraid to try anything else.

OK let's be more specific. You have Halo installed and its working fine. You then install FRAPS, X-fire or some mod. What happens next? Error messages? How does Halo not work?

The Halo logo appears, goes fullscreen and minimises. Then I have to re-install the program, or in more difficult situations (a re-install does not fix the problem, etc) I have to revert my hard drive, and I just don't have the time nor patience to do that every time I play.

The best guess I have is it may be a Direct X or video problem. What does "revert my hard drive" mean? I'm not familiar with that term,

Reverting your hard drive means that you restore it to an earlier time. say you installed the wrong drivers, go to accesories, system tools and system restore, and you can send your hard drive back in time! WoOoOooo! all things you have done since the time you selected are gone, exept for recent work such as word documents. GoBack was a better program for this, but the version I have doesnt work past 98SE.

Ahhh yes. I don't think I've seen one of those that really works. The one that comes with XP is completely worthless IMO.

Anyway I still think the issue is video related..... although that is about the same time the Aahhh....aaahhh...aaaa starts. Maybe a download and install of the latest video and audio drivers would shake it loose.

If that doesn't work I guess its time to fire up the leaf blower.

yeah, drivers, so, who hasn't been paying attetion to what I have been complaining about since I joined? There are no working drivers for this card anymore. I am tired of telling people that. DO NOT do a search for a driver after looking up my problem in the forums, please, its bad enough that I had to deal with idiots on other forums, not to mention the unintelligent reply I have already gotten.
