exception help

[SwiftNinja1]

Hey does anyone know how to fix this. Everytime play Halo by using the desktop shortcut and I try to play on Blood Gulch, a sign that says Exception comes up and I can't play it. I bought a new disc, but the same thing happens. When I go to "Computer" and the "DISK" and play Halo, it works, but I can't use mods. Can someone please help me! Thx!

wait... you BOUGHT a new disc. you went out and purchased another copy of the game because this is not working... why did you not just contact the game producers first?

If your on vista, run it as a admin, because not on admin you still have the old map file because the installer was ran by admin. Which means the executable not ran by admin will read the old not admin maps instead of your new ones. Try running halo.exe on administrator.

lmao, you bought a new game CD? Bloodgulch.map is corrupted, replace it with a stock map.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You just save me a lot of time and trouble. I do have Vista and your way worked! So thank you!

And to everyone else, I'm sorry that I bought a new disc. I don't see what the big deal is. The new disc was only $20. I'm good at modding, but not at computer stuff.

You really should have asked here before you went and bought a new disk lol Yea Vista is really skrewed up stuff like that, Microsoft should have waited untill 2009 to release it, it's got some major wrinkles to be ironed out.

Ya I know, Vista isn't really as great as they said it was. I didn't know about this place untill yesterday though. Anyways I don't really care about buying a new disc because:
1. It was only $20
2. If one of my discs brake, I have another.

Actually it was common sense to run it as a admin. If the installer is ran as a admin (like all of them are) you need to run the exe as a admin. You know what? Just run everything as a admin.
