    What is the video card make? If not, we can't help you.

    To check your video card, right click on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Click on "Properties." Click on the "Hardware" tab. Go to "Device Manager." Click on the "+" sign next to "Display Adapters." Then tell us what you see.

    If Halo is running at a lower resolution than your computer screen's native resolution, you need to raise the resolution OR run the game in a window, which you do by adding " -window" to the tagline of the Halo desktop shortcut.

    depends on your monitor's screen resolution. Basically go to settings->video settings in Halo and then turn all the options you see to "on" and "high". Then for resolution turn it as high as it will go on your system. A system like that should play Halo reasonably well at high settings unless it has integrated graphics.

    There, do not double, triple, or quadruple post like that. There is an edit button. I took the liberty and merged the posts.

    You also need to cool down on making the threads, you have been making to many.

    Ok. I thought if i asked to many questions in one thread I would be told to make threads for each question. Ive been told that on other forums. But so far this is the best forum so Ill start doing that.
