I never heard of this before. Tell us what your computer and specs are. Also, try starting halo while pressing Ctrl, then open it in "safe mode". I hope that helps.

go to Start>Run and type

dxdiag

and hit enter. That should bring up everything, including graphics card/chipset, processor with exact speed, exact version of Windows, current amount of RAM used, etc, etc.

As for your problem, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling. Then check to see if you've got, say, your contrast on high or something, and check to see if the drivers for your GPU are fully up to date.

After you type in dxdiag, copy it and paste it in this thread. Post your specs, then we can all point and laugh at how crappy your system is.

You have to consider that he's only 14, yet has better grammar than roughly 80% of the people on this forum, including you.

dude the only difference between his grammar and mine is the punctuation,which just happens to have a different style.punctuation spacing isn't even an actual rule in literal writing,so who gives a rats ass about spacing on the computer.he -blam!-es about everything and is a cocky little (put more blams here),and when he gets on,he better have something to say.but until then,shut up and let him defend himself,he doesn't need people older than him idolizing his ass,he is bad enough already.

*EDIT*
when you are trying to argue something,and you are on the cmputer,try getting official statistics,until then you have proof keep your trap shut,because i doubt anyone but that jerk you are defending believes you.

*EDIT 2*
since when does grammar have to do with anything on the computer anyways?i mean seriously,if you can understand it,then what else does it matter?it isn't a frikin essay contest or anything.

Puncuation isn't the only difference. 10 points to anyone who can point out Mystic's other numerous grammatical errors!

And why would you go so far as to say I idolize him? I have nothing to idolize about him.

And that 80% is a rough statement, but I'm not far off. Take this thread for example; 5 people that posted in it didn't use proper grammar, 3 did. If one more person were to post with incorrect grammar, that would mean that 75% of the posters had incorrect grammar, which is a damn close number to 80. So much for a shut trap!

I'm going to put it simply. You can call Kim cocky all you want. But until you manage to make a post that normal people don't have to translate into English in order to read, you calling him cocky just adds up to a bunch of rabble.

Now, I'm going to get back on topic. OP, try reinstalling Halo, you might have a corruption. If that doesn't work, post the specs of your compy like the others said. That should shed some light on your problem.

I don't even know Oni Ryu that well. I know I'm a retard who flips out whenever asks "What is Vista?" Just ignore me, I'm the forum troll, after all.

You know, that whole "post your specs because they're probably crappy" thing was just a joke. I never really meant to offend anybody. Compared to today's top-of-the-line PCs, my PC is quite outdated.

Do you run on an integrated chipset, General Rinkes?

im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

Yep "Kim" has always something to say weather its negative or mean.

  • 06.28.2006 12:33 PM PDT

Actully Master Kim is kinda nice..... Grammar matters, if you have horrible grammar can others read? No, they can't. Master Kim helps almost everyone he replys to like very post and he actully " helps " people with more things. Anyways i just came on the site because im playing with DC Spartan and played H2Coag with him and ima play GruntGulch v2 with him. Back to topic! Try unistalling and reinstalling halo, sometimes there are files that can be broken.

Right click on your desktop, and click "Properties", and then the "Settings" tab. Keep going down and you should find your GPU located underneath "Display:". It's quite easy.

Hey, I study english as a major. The stuff I read each day on this place is enough to make my eyes bleed.

If I had a single freakin Japanese YEN (108 yen=1 dollar) for every time I ran across a grammar/spelling/punctuation mistake in this forum, I'd have enough money to construct an honest-to-god Halo.

As much as Kim's a forum--blam!- about grammar and punctuation, he's not totally unjustified. We can't really help you if we can't understand what the heck you're writing about.
