reinstall direct x to the newest. My friend had a problem like you said. Told him to reinstall it since sometimes files get corrupted. Started working again fine. Try it.

I had this problem way back once with Independence War II, althought it didn't have any handy error messages. Did you actually run dxdiag to make sure that Direct3D is enabled?

If you did, and it is, go with blackstealth's suggestion.

 

[enwar3]

yea i did, and its enabled lol.. ill try reinstalling 9.0c a couple more times.

I have a 6800GT SLI setup and Halo runs, but all lighting effects are visible through walls. Anyone know anything about that?

 

[enwar3]

ok no luck. i installed SP2 to try and update, and it wont go. same error, that hardware acceleration isnt enabled (even though it is, grrr). anyone else had this problem?

 

[Anubis]

did you get the update patch? that made it work for me long ago

 

[enwar3]

sry, which update patch? for directx or sp2?

 

[Anubis]

for HALO

 

[enwar3]
