I got a serious problem.
I just tried putting Halo PC on my new Computer.
The system is a 3200 AMD Athalon running Windows XP home. I believe SP2 was already there.
The Video Card is standard witht eh PC (an HP PC) It is a: VIA/S3G Unichrome IGP Driver is dated 3/14/04.

Now I keep getting a message claiming that my video card is below the minimal specs for the game. Now accoriding to the game-box, the card is above and beyond the specs. After doing this patch, I can get past all the creditary movies fine, but as soon as I hit the menue, eveything goes whack. The screen satrs flickering strange polygons of white, white boxes now replae menue items, and the halo Ring does not appear, meanwhile what is there is very difficult to access (And impossible to identify which menaue item is which) due to the flickering, flashing.


Can anybody help me?

BTW, Removing SP2 didn't help, neither did the fixes.

Hm... onboard video "solutions" are never very fun to play intense 3D games on, even if you can get them to work. You didn't mention if you're playing on a PC or laptop, but I'm guessing the latter, due to the built-in video and brand name. If you ARE playing on a PC, just break down and get yourself a real video card. Most likely the onboard graphics is your issue. Failing that, start updating like crazy. Update your video card drivers, your chipset drivers (if HP even updates those), your Direct X, maybe even see if there is a BIOS update availible for your onboard video.

You dont have a real video card, you are doomed.
