When I installed HaloCE and PC on my Windows ME computer, I was all happy. Then, i go to play the game, and then it says, An error has occured with initializing Direct3d. Please run DXDIAG. Well, I did, I tested everything, and it was all fine. It still doesn't work. Please! Im GOING MAD HERE! PLEASE HELP ME!

P.S. Dont say Halo cant be run on ME because LOTS of people HAVE it for ME.

it can, it can be run on 98SE/me/2000/Xp

But no idea HOW to fix this Direct3d Problem???

First check to be sure your video card is supported. If it is then update your video drivers.

Dennis, what's my Video Card have to do with Direct3d? I tested it in DXDiag, and it said it was fine- and, is this update free? No viruses right?

Direct3d is a software componet to the video system. Some video cards do not support all of the functions but work fine for standard applications. Video games require much more functionality from the video card and make calls to the the Direct3d software to access them. If the video card does not support them then the game program will not run. That is why the individual games list the cards they will work with.

well, my Graphic card is an Intel(r) 82810E Graphics Controller 4.12.01.2576, which is not supported, so how do i update my drivers? Is it free?

You are out of luck. You will have to upgrade your graphics card (hardware) in order to play Halo. A quick search of the Intel website shows that the card will not operate with Halo.

Well, thank you VERY much Dennis. At least I still have it on my XP at my own house. I was just trying to see if it'd work on my grandma's so i had something to do when im here. But, if it wont work, I appreciate the help.
