I get this problem when I minus down Halo using ALT+F4 a number of times. Try restarting your game.

This can be due to SP2, in which case I have read evidence pointing towards a driver issue. However, most people will easily solve this problem by running the following file: "C:\program files\microsoft games\Halo\msxmlenu.msi"

Also, Psyched: Alt+F4 will not minimize your game. It will close it. Alt-Tab will minimize your game and allow you to switch between open windows.

This happened to me 3 months ago...right before my PC died forever. Not to scare you or anything.

It's MSI, not EXE.

You could always just press the button that opens your start window.
