Halo 2 Vista not running on Windows 7

Hi everyone, I recently picked up a copy of Halo 2 for PC and installed it on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545) with Windows Vista as the OS and the game ran (Barely though, the video capability of that laptop is depressing). Anyway, I got a new laptop a few weeks later (A Dell XPS, decked out with plenty of gaming gear) but running Windows 7 as the OS. Now the game installed fine but when I try to play it, I get the little loading icon next to my mouse pointer and then nothing. At all. So my question is, does anyone know how to fix this problem? or can anyone link me to another thread/site where someone has had this problem and has solved it? Cheers :) [Edited on 09.06.2011 5:51 AM PDT]

    [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kirostrife Yeah I had Halo for PC a long time ago and played online almost everyday, but after moving twice I somehow lost my install disc. Might have to invest in another copy lol. I did a little more scouring and alot of people are having troubles with this video card and other games (Starcraft II for example). Do you reckon it would be worth contacting Dell (Or Nvidia) and trying to find a reason why its not running, or if they have a workaround?[/quote] In my opinion your best bet would be with Nvidia. Dell or M$ are likely to point fingers at each other and you'll probably end up calling them anyway. Yeah i thought so...it's a shame because it's a decent card, just they changed a few things and a couple of games just don't like it. I doubt there'll be a fix, but at the very least, Nvidia could try making a driver update for it but it's a longshot. In any case, best of luck, sorry i couldn't be more helpful.
