It's pretty hard to help you when you don't tell us what the game is doing. How are we supposed to help you with "it wouldent run right"

Most likely there's something about the game that your hardware doesn't like. There's usually a message that tells you what is wrong and the following link has some info that might help. Otherwise you're on your own.

Please, read the stickies first. If you don't know what or where they are, then see this.

I'm pretty sure you just have to manually download the 1.07 patch to fix the problem. It's quite obvious.

That could be alot of things, but chances are you probably just need to manually download and install the 1.07 patch. Go to the link I typed in my last post.

That link I provided has the fix in there somewhere. Something about adding a command line parameter I believe. I think it's -vidmode.

Then maybe your hardware just won't support Halo. You're banjaxed as we Irish say.
