I just got Windows Vista and I am trying to run Halo PC on it. I have installed it and attempted to install the patches. The patches won't install. Is it possible to run Halo PC on Vista?

What are you talking about? Vista isn't out until 2007, unless you're talking about the beta.

If you are, then I don't know. It's a beta, still in testing, still in work. So it might not.

When the OS comes out, it will be backwards compatible with Windows XP games, or so I've heard.

If it was just released a few days ago do you think most people might have it or know what it does? Please, common sense.

Obviously.

Check out if there's a solution to your problem at Microsoft.

I have Windows Vista Beta 2 and Halo runs just fine. Maby your computer sucks or you have crappy drivers.

And it runs much faster, I've never ran Halo at such a high resolution before. Runs full 30FPS at 1024x720 on only a 128MB video card... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Expecting functionality from a beta OS = LOL

Really? I wonder how well my card would run on Vista with my GeForce 6600 AGP with 256 MB.
