I have no idea why it's doing this, but every time I try to run Halo CE, I get this:



I'm not quite sure what this means, or how to fix it. Help please?

And it keeps turning my background gray!! >:(

I'm not really sure what's wrong, but it seems to have to do with your graphics. Go to Start>Run>DXDIAG, then go to the Display tab and see if it tells you that there's a problem.

K. I did all the tests, and it said "No problems found." I'm going to try running Halo again.

After, try installing DirectX all over again

Before you install or uninstall anything first try re-booting.

I have done this at least 5 times, but to no avail.

If you've been able to play halo before, and it's not working this time, then a file went corrupt. Re-installing would fix this problem.

Apparently not. I have done it twice.

What exactly does the Error Message say? I cant make it out.

Go run dxdiag, go display, press enable button for direct3d accelartion if its not already done.

ok well did you get your computer rebuilt recently? i had this problem and it was because a driver for my graphics card wasn't installed... if you have a CD that came with your motherboard or gfx card, insert it and reinstall the driver.

Get new drivers. See if that works.

this

Cocaine, the error message says
"A problem occurred initializing Direct3D. Hardware acceleration may be disabled, please run DXDIAG."

If you can't enable it, as in the field is grayed out, then its a driver issue or a DX issue.

Think this method should help:

Update yr computer at windows update
update yr halo with halo update
update yr gfx card drivers
scan yr comp for viruses and spyware
use ccleaner (to clean up yr comp and registry)
reboot

especially important is step 3
once, my halo kept on minimising when it started up, had to remaximise the window.
did step 3, problem solved
just an example

O shi, same avatar as me, so I thought this was already answered, my bad.

On topic: This looks like a driver issue. Go to Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware > Device Manager

When your in Device manager, go to Display Adapters and make sure there are no Yellow Exclamation Points. If there is, Uninstall, then reinstall the drivers. If that doesn't work, then your Video Card either needs to be updated and/or replaced.

I do not understand this. I keep getting these things no matter what program I'm running. iTunes, IE, even the &$#%ing task manager. WTF are these errors.

Specifically, a run time error named 203 has occured at address 00D845CD.

What you are seeing is debug information, for a programmer to find and see what is causing the problem. ^_^

Again, its a driver error. Uninstall the Driver and Re-install. If possible if you haven't updated, Roll Back the driver.

Completely reinstall windows. That fixes EVERYTHING. I'm starting to hate windows. That is why I switched over to linux. Almost no errors. lol

When your computer is a piece of crap that wasn't even good when it was made 7 (bungie!!) years ago, errors are to be expected. But I'm getting these errors from just about every program on my computer.

http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?nid=308 Nobody said anything about that page...

Now I'm getting these.

Solution A: Drop IE and get Firefox.

Problem B: AVG is being retarded because avgnsx is related to AVG... I dropped AVG and got avast for free. :/

Reinstall your OS, you have a Virus sir.

I just say run a virus scan.
Then get a registry key scanner to search for problems.
Alt_Control_Delete and check if there are any suspicious applications running , if you're unsure of what it is , google it.
Make sure you read through the information before deleting anything , i once nearly deleted a vital component to windows because i just read half the paragraph.
Good thing i didnt =D

I do not like firefox. IE 8 is much better.

Although I am less impressed with AVG. Is Avast much better?

E: Look at that, a new page. Go me :D

System restore is going to be my next plan. I just need something to back up my maps and my music with, because I don't have a flash drive, and there's far too much stuff to put on discs.

System Restore won't touch any unimportant files, like your maps, music, or any pr0n. It only rolls back the system files to an older version.

Yeah , im thinking most people would be worried about the pr0n.
