-_- im pretty sure its not ur graphics, but if u want to make sure , and updates your drives, and make tests ( find dxdiag in ur c: drive )
and test everything, also make sure ur not playing using ANY programs that recquires ur gfx memory, u cant play to things at once, itll just say an error about direct_draw, or somthing, i wouldnt worry about it at ALL!

edit: oh and wats the rams?

IT's that stupid WMI process. The update fucked it up. and the worst thing is that just bout every program uses it. SO to play the game, I doble click the Icon then I go into my services and stop WMI. As soon as I stop the thing, INSTANTLY, Halo starts.
