I just recently got a problem while trying to play Halo PC. When I try to open it up from my desktop, I get this error message.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong and a way to fix it? Thanks in advanced.

Try downloading this update to the game, and try again.

Halo PC 1.0 has troubles with some 256mb video cards.

Don't worry about it, your specs look fine... just click "Continue Anyway".

Thanks guys, that did it. I might of uninstalled that when I was reinstalling >.>

But it seems I have the same problem I was trying to fix :( I cannot get any text to show up in game; the kills/death text and chat.

I tried the msxmlenu.exe repair, but it didn't fix it... Is there a way I can get the file that is corrupted and replace it manually? Like the one that controls the text in-game?

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

You wouldn't have bitterbannana's no text mod or something running? ...lol?

Well it just happened a week ago, so, ever since, I cannot get text. I'm thinking of completely uninstalling and just installing again. But I don't want to lose my games saves or profiles >.>. And i'm not running any mods.

I just want to know if there is any way to get the text to show up again; any other methods i could use. If anyone has some ideas, i'm all ears.

Sorry, was gone for awhile. Ah, how would I know if i used 3d analyzer? I don't know about system restore; don't want to get rid of some stuff I recently got.

Is there a file I can save that has my game saves and profile so I can just reinstall? Don't want to lose the saves, since some of my friends have saves on there.

And how do you know that i'm over the requirements?

Assuming you're using windows I think there is a way to save your profiles and stuff. Go to "My Documents" -----> "My Games" and copy the "Halo" folder. Then uninstall Halo and Re-install. Put the "Halo" folder back in "My Games" and you should be set!

I don't know if this will save your campaign levels though but I know there is a way to unlock them without acctually playing it through again. (I just forget how)

Sorry to hijack this thread, but how do you start a new thread on these forums? In my desperation I actually looked at the "site help" page and it says there's supposed to be a "create topic" link, but I can't find it. Where's it hiding?

I found it; hopefully it works! It is late(at least here), so I'll try it out tomorrow. Thanks for the help everyone!

And RP_Raptor, I see by your profile you just joined today, and I would like to say Welcome!

New users have to wait 24 hours to create topics. It should say that towards the top. No need to search further, just wait a day and you should be able to post a topic.

Happy posting.

Thanks; nice to be here. :) I think I posted here once about two years ago but forgot what my username was.

I was all fired up to start my awesome topic, but I suppose I can wait.

Thanks for the help,
Rob

you know, when you reinstall, you can just not check the box that says "remove saved game/profiles" and they all stay there, without you having to copy your folder

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

ok if it happened a week ago what software or wtvr did u put on your pc a week ago. because halo wont corrut itself at random moments

  • 12.18.2006 7:25 PM PDT

Ok, this is starting to piss me off a bit. I reinstalled two times and still get no text! I install, get update, then i go to a server and try to chat. Nothing.

I really don't know what it could be. I have kept my game saves and profiles whenever i reinstalled. Would that effect anything? Should I reinstall without those saves?? I need some ideas, if someone could enlighten me on the problem, please help!

I think it was due to me alt+tabbing too much. I have not downloaded anything else, besides update.
