Did you delete your registry? Because the game DOES check the registry on start to see you own the game. Run the game on the PC that you installed it on.

registry?.

I haven't played halo for a month or 2. last thing i did was delete a bunch of maps from the map folder.

and yes this is on launch :( .

I would reinstall it but I don't know my key or where my installation disc is....

give it a try..

weird. I remember using this tool before....

:/

Assuming it is valid install then something hosed your registry. Either malware or a registry cleaner or another program installation. I suspect that you have other problems you are as of yet unaware.

use program called Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, because registry key that holds the product key is removed / messed up, and it might be work of malware. download it here, and Remember to upgrade it before using it http://www.techspot.com/downloads/4716-malwarebytes-anti-malware.html

edit1: use system recovery

Well this is starting to sound serious.

Just reinstall Halo and always have an up-to-date reliable antivirus program running. I generally use Norton.

if you want to be extra careful, run Malwarebytes in Chameleon mode

always remember to upgrade operating system, antivirus, firewall, and ALL other programs ( i don't mean that you should buy a new windows)

Um just wondering, heempy had a product key for a mac (ew)... will it work for pc?
the key. not the disc.

use this http://www.belarc.com/index.html
it should find and display your haloce key if it is on your system, it will display many other keys of installed software on your system. it displays pretty much everything.

this works i ran and checked myself.

edit: i scanned it with comodo, scanned with avg full internet security suite.
then just for kicks scanned it with virus total too.
