try using the command line
-width640
Forces the game to run at 640×480.
with the Halo shortcut. You should be able to run the game according to Intel’s support site if you have the latest drivers installed
You may also want to check that you are indeed running DirectX 9.0c. (Start > Run > dxdiag)
or need Big fat upgrade
OK so I have no clue about the “unique settings” and all my graphic card drivers are updated and I am running 9.0c and I have no clue where or how to do the -width640
well heres an update, now it just opens to a blank screen but I do hear the sounds, before I heard no sounds
For the width640 thing:
How to use command line switches:
- Right click on the Halo shortcut and select properties
- There is a box that says target field and there will be something similar to “C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalohalo.exe” which would need to be changed to “C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalohalo.exe”–width640
- Note that the command line switches are outside of the quotes and you can add as many as you like.
When I speak of unique settings I ment right clicking on your desktop > Properties >> click the “settings” tab >>> and then click advanced.
As an example, heres mine: (And by the way, did you see my private message to you?)

ok well heres something weird, when the game starts you all know it goes to weirdness, but if I hit spacebar to skip the opening credits/company viewings and hit it untill it goes to the main menu it works, so it seems only to be during the opening credits
