I just got a new laptop and it's on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I installed Halo Custom Edition and the installation seems to have went fine. I ran the installation as administrator and in compatibility mode. When I run the game, it loads the splash screen then "loads" the game in the background...so the game is stuck at the splash screen but if I move my mouse around I hear the noises of hovering over multiplayer, settings, etc. I never had problems on Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on my desktop. I also have the same problem and more with Halo: Combat Evolved on this laptop.

I've tried running as administrator, XP compatibility, windowed mode, disabling visual themes, disabling desktop composition, and disabling scaling on high DPI.

I'd really like some sort of solution as soon as possible because I'm voice acting in Project: Lawson and I'd really like to play through it...help?

turn off the anti-aliasing or the anisotropic filter (i don't remember what of those) in the video settings of your video drivers

oh no, don't tell me that the 700 mobile graphic cards have this problem dennis

Setting anti-aliasing to application control fixed it up. Thanks all.
