Subject: Windows Vista update for the first Halo?

I love music, and I want to learn all of the Halo Trilogy music. Please! Give me the sheet music!

I recently upgraded my computer to the Release Candidate 1 of Windows Vista. Apperently, Halo: Combat Evolved is not compatible with Vista, and I was wondering if there is already an update avaliable. I didn't just run the update program because I was afraid I might harm my computer.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think you'll need to have Vista on one HDD and XP on the other..or something like that. Some games won't be compatible with new OS (Halo, I guess)..some of the new games will be compatible withold OS's (Crysis).

Run it in Windows XP compatibility mode. I have never used Vista before, but I would guess that the settings to do that are in the properties dialog box of the Halo.exe.

Thank's I guess I'll go ahead and try it. I have tried several things in compatibility mode, and none of them work. I think the compatibility feature isn't up and running completely yet.

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

Search around B.net

There is a Vista compatibility patch for Halo 1.07 on here, but it is hidden, and I don't have time to find it right now.

The above is correct and not.

The Vista Compantability Checker currently gives its "This software has compatability issues with Microsoft Vista" warning and asks you if you want to check for fixes.

After checking, it takes to the Bungie page that tells you that Halo works perfectly well, it just gives a false WARNING message about it not being. Once you download 2 new files (being the strings.dll and...another one i cant remember) it never even checks if its compatablie or not ever again and you can just run it as normal.

There isn't even a need for 'Compatability Mode' or 'Running as Administrator' or any such things.
