Joel Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Did you try calling MS for support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNay Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Nope, I might try and install Halo over again if not then oh well. No biggie. It worked b4, but all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidic-e- Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 - If every time you try to run Halo you get a dialog box similar to the one in the picture above, then there are three main solutions:1. The quickest is to set any refresh rate altering programs or settings you have back to the default Windows settings. For example, if you run Refresh Force (which I highly recommend you do), open it up, click on "Restore Original Settings" and then click Apply. Do this for each monitor listed. If you're using the refresh rate override in your graphics driver's control panel, turn it off. 2. If you don't want to disable the refresh rate fix and you're running WindowsXP then you can run Halo in Win98 Mode. Do this by right clicking on Halo's Icon, select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode" box and select "Windows 98/Windows ME". This may also improve performance, but I'm not certain the impact it has on visual quality (i.e. whether it forces lower level Shaders for example). Thanks to Cyfun for the tip. 3. Again if you don't want to disable your refresh rate fixes, the final method involves using the -Vidmode argument. See -Vidmode under the Command Prompt Arguments area of the Advanced Tweaking section for more details.
