All the games that I play can't have their resolutions changed no matter what I changed in the menus. The 800x600 resolution is too big and causes dizziness in some games like Halo. I have a GeForce 4 MX card but I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem. What should I do?

I'n not sure, and I haven't personally played Halo on the PC, but I am 99.999% sure that Halo's resolution can be changed.

I want to say Halo's res can't be changed....Let me see what I can find.

N/m, its not. Maybe you need to get new drivers or something?

Halo's resolution can certainly be changed. Try, as NutBucket suggested, updating to the latest drivers.

Halo can be changed, but I play at 800x600 just to insure smoothness. 2500+ Barton w/ Ati 9600 Pro :(
