[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] willis936 I wasn't specifically looking for texmods. It's already an incredible jump from the xbox version. I was just hoping for some way of running in dx10 with bloom or AO. The lighting just feels very flat and my CPU and GPU never get above 40% load (save playing around with the scarab gun :p). I've not once had any stability or framerate issues with the game. Running on 7 x64 with compatibility mode vista SP1 and running as administrator. I would like to override the "revert to non aero desktop scheme" while the game is running. That's very annoying.[/quote] Take off compatibility mode , I know what I'm talking about. :) Go to your halo 2 directory, right click on halo2.exe/startup.exe, go to compatibility tab, and make sure "Disable desktop composition" is unchecked. There are no graphics mods for Halo 2 Vista, the most you can do is to go to your graphics card control panel and make sure AA x16 is enabled
