Weird error when I try to start Halo 2

[MD StAMiNa]

I installed halo 2 today. and when i tried to start it i got a message asking for d3dx9_31.dll file, so i downloaded it and put it in the halo 2 folder. now when I try to start halo 2 i get this error

what's going on?

Hmm I've deleted the MFPlat.dll file and it works until I try to enter my product key, then it just freezes saying:

Halo 2 for windows vista has stopped working

whats going on?

Aeh you are not suppose to delete MFPlat.dll. Just download it and put it aswell into your H2V folder and try again. To me it looks like your original MFPlat.dll has been patched/modified, by a virus or however.

Have you tried just installing it and playing it? More info please.

Something's not right, here. A normal install of h2vista should provide the DLLs required to run the game, if they're not already located on a native Vista install.

Either you've got some malware on your system... or something else is going on here. Run some sweeps with Ad-Aware and/or Spybot in safe mode, update Windows, etc, and reinstall Halo 2.

Meh... I doubt it is a malware/virus problem. I think it is something else.

Seems like the Jump command is not really POPing.

Glad you get it. You are part of the 0.001% who do

Hi to all,

Here is the d3dx9_31.dll : http://www.d3dx9.net/download-missing-d3dx9_31-dll/ and http://dllcentral.com/d3dx9_31.dll/9.15.779.0000/…download it and then extract the downloaded zip file to the system32 folder which is located in windows folder (that is located in your main drive which contains the installed windows)

Too late... 3 years too late, so all I can say is:
