Radeon 9000 crashes with specular!

My dad's computer has a radeon 9000, and it supports directx 8.1 and shader 1.3 (or something higher, I don't remember). But for some reason, it crashes when I play halo with specular after one minute. Is it because that you need a directx 9 card that supports shader 2.0?

No, I think that's either a problem with the card itself, or more likley, driver errors. Try going to the ATI website and downloading the latest drivers, and going to http://www.microsoft.com/directx and getting version 9c couldn't hurt either.

I downloaded directx 9.0c from microsoft and they don't make drivers for the radeon 9000 because they don't sell it anymore. So there's no support of any kind for that card.
