Compatibility Fix for Windows XP SP2 and certain 256 MB
video cards: Microsoft has identified a potential
incompatibility between Halo for PC and Windows XP SP2, on
certain high-end video cards, which causes Halo to exit
silently to the desktop immedately after launching the
program, before the logo movies play. Systems which can
get beyond that point are unaffected by this problem, and
will not benefit from this fix.

Note: You must patch Halo to the latest version (1.04)
before applying this fix. Please download Halo 1.04 (see
above).

Microsoft has only seen this problem on computers with an
Nvidia GeForce 5900 or 5950, or ATI X800 video card, and
only on certain driver versions, including the Nvidia
drivers included by default in new installations of
Windows XP SP2.

Solution: Microsoft is providing an updated version of a
file for Halo which may be installed to fix this problem.
Gameplay is otherwise unaffected by this change.


It is recommended that you only continue to install this
fix if you experience the specific problem noted above.
Ensure you have the latest version of Halo (1.04) by
running the latest update (see above), or by checking the
version number of the file halo.exe, typically located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo. The correct version
number is 1.0.4.607.
After verifying that you have the correct version,
download the new Strings.dll and save it to the location
where Halo was installed, typically C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Games\Halo. When prompted to overwrite the
existing file, choose Yes.
DOWNLOAD STRINGS DLL 1 MB


Launch Halo to verify that it functions as intended. Note
that if you see the message "Corrupted Halo.exe", then
Halo was not patched to the correct version before
applying this update - See step 2 above.

Read something about that it's failing when the intro
movie is supposed to play....

Can it be a "Codec" problem.. (INDEO Codec ???)
