start>run>dxdiag --- try that. Then look for the option that says "Hardware Acceleration". Make sure it is enabled. It might be due to the fact that your graphics card is not supported by Halo. A 32MB Radeon, that's pretty old.

I say you shold get at LEAST 64mb video card.... but I would recommend like 128mb or 256mb....

Ya, well let me advise you. The better the video card the better the game will run. When you decide to get a new video card, get a really good one that will support games that will come in the future.

Well anyway, good luck on HALO.

i might know whats wrong this time

Get updated drivers.... and set your settings in the game a bit lower
