Halo Trial Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games (More info?)

My computer cant run the Halo trial.
it says : A problem occurred initializing direct3d. Hardware acceleration
maybe disabled, please run dxdiag.

I have run dxdiag many times and under direct x it says no problems found
and under display it says no problems found and direct 3d accerelrator is
enabled, not disabled. My graphics card id a Radeon 9600 256mb 8xAgp and i
have directx 9.0c installed

What should i do? Thanks

Hi Aragon,

ATI Radeon 9600 with 256 MB of Memory
Under certain circumstances after the Intro Movies, you may see a black or blank screen instead of the menu. We suggest that you
update to the latest drivers. If this does not resolve the issue you may have to adjust the AGP Aperture size in your computer BIOS.
An AGP aperture of 256 MB has been reported as addressing this issue. For information about how to adjust the AGP aperture size,
contact the manufacturer of your computer or your motherboard.
