Everytime I try to start HaloCE I get an error message that says that Direct X couldnt be started because Hardware acceleration isnt on. However I cheacked and it is on so sometell me how to make it work please. I had the same problem with Halo but fixed it by manually updating it (it wasnt fully updated).

That sometimes happens to me and i have HA on.
Just restart your computer and it should be fixed.

Press Start > Run and run dxdiag
Then go into display and turn all direct x features on, and then run the tests.
If that doesnt work:
Check your motherboard drivers, if thats done, re install your graphics card drivers, maybe get the omega ones.
If that doesnt work, maybe it is your halo ..

Ah, no wonder!
Download these two files, and place them in your Halo Custom Edition Directory. It is the Sp2 fix for certain cards.
