I just bought Halo for PC and I have a problem. When I try to load it on vista I am getting an error that it wants directx9.0b. Vista Beta 2 has Directx10. Is there a way around this or will I have to try to play Halo 2 in XP64 instead? This is the first game that I am having a problem with in Vista. Thanks

well it might not work on vista idk, cause its not like it says compatable with vista, since it wasnt out at the time, but idk, it should work anyway, usualy it says the error and it says "Exit" and a "Continue" button, press continue

I am sure Bungie has the PC version posted somewhere you will just have to search

A Microsoft product not working with a Microsoft product? You don't say.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Here are the Vista patches for PC and CE.

Now, who's saying Bungie doesn't still support Halo PC?

Thanks for your help. I now have Halo up and going. Only thing is I have it on heroic and I am not finding it that had were I did on xbox. I guess it is because of the mouse and keyboard with the better aiming.
