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 :)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kirostrife I would buy a PC for my gaming needs, but I do most of my gaming on xbox 360, and just the games that are PC exclusive I play on computer. Theres two issues with getting a PC over a laptop though. 1. I literally have no room to put one (Share a house with 3 other people) and everything I own has to fit in my room basically. So its a bed, TV/xbox, Couch and bedside table. and no. 2 is that I frequently visit my girlfriend and her brother (They live together and both are gamers) so I need something easily portable, hence laptop. Dell has been good to me in the past so fingers crossed I can get something decent from them, and if not the rest of my family and friends are hardcore toshiba fans, so I might look further into that.[/quote] In that case, the only thing i can recommend is read around the laptops you're looking at so you can anticipate any potential problems (similar to the G540m) with certain games etc. Also, keep an eye on which makes have heating issue's, and be sure to keep it well ventilated. Other than that, i don't think i can be of much help. Like i said, just read around the laptops and you should be okay.
