I thought I could resolve this myself.. but.

I can not seem to get halo ce to launch. I click to launch haloce and nothing happens, no menu, no music, nothing.
I have tried the following..

- uninstalling/reinstalling.
- Running the program as administrator.
- Running in compatability mode [Windows XP service pack 2&3, Windows Vista, Windows 7&8. Not sure what it was meant to achieve when altering what compatability mode to launch with, but it was worth a shot.
- Going into the Nvidia settings and turning off all antialiasing settings, also turned off anisotropic filtering.

So I am a little stumped at the moment.

More importantly, where did you get your installer from? :P

@Tarkija

- I do not know what OS means.
- By hardware am I correct to assume specs? If so..

Windows version: 10
Processor: I5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHZ
Ram: 8GB.
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 750 TI

I'm not sure if anything else is required.

- No I have not downloaded any patches, I suppose this could be a reason for my difficulty.
- Open Sauce or HA2? I am not aware of what either of those are.. so I am going to say probably not. My apologies, I am rather new to Halo Ce.
- On this PC, no Halo has not worked.

@StormUndBlackbird

The installer for Halo CE? I got my Halo ce installer from this site.

I'll be giving the patch a go and see if anything improves.

UPDATE

The patch has made the game work! Thank you for such a simple suggestion that I overlooked. Was not even aware that any patches were required to get this game running. Halo CE worked fine on my old laptop.

Though I do have a new issue of no AI spawning in my map.. so I have more work to do, thank you both.

Thank you both for your suggestions. It seems I have new tools and such to learn about.
