Ok, I reinstalled halo, but apparently, I accidentally overwrit something so now I have to install some manual update, I can't remember how to do it though, so here are the instructions that came with the manual update download, I'm not sure if im doing it right, so thats why im asking you.

# Save the auto-patcher update file to the game install directory, such as c:\program files\microsoft games\halo. Overwrite the existing file. Remember to "save" this file, don't try to "open" it directly from the Web site.
# After saving the file to the proper location, double-click the exe to install. If you receive an error message (such as strings.dll not found) you likely did not save it to the proper game install directory.
# Start Halo and the new updated auto-patcher should prompt you to update your version to v1.06

Basically, what do I do and where do I go, P.S. how exactly do I save like it says in there?

First, when you download it, save it to the same place you saved Halo (when you download the update, change the "save to" line and look around for the installation location) If you did express install, the directory is most likely C:\Program Files\Microsot Games\Halo. (If you can't find that, go to Search and look up Halo: If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it, taking care to notice the file name and it's location. If you did not download the update to the right place, all you have to do is find the Install location and drag it there. Once it is there, run it and install the update. The rest is pretty self-explanitory... =)

By any chance do I look in the My network places area? if thats the wrong place, that's what I'm doing wrong.
