Halo-major issues!!-Game from Hell

Hey folks, have gotten Halo for X-Mas, and I installed it on my system ( P4 2.4, 512MB Ram, MSI-845PE MAX, G4-Ti4200 64MB Video, Audigy Gamer, 60 GB IDE, 7200prm HD, Windows 2000), and it has been HELL!!!

My problem is as follows:

I run Halo and it starts up fine. I set up my settings and
click on Campaign, then set my difficulty level and hit
'Ok'. The game then suddenly (no more than 15 minutes, but usually less), minimizes and a small window pops up saying 'Gathering exception data...'. This window
stays here for a moment, then a Windows error pops up (the
one that asks you if you'd like to send the error data to
Micro$oft). After I select either 'Send' or 'Don't Send', Halo closes.
These things keep appearing. :|

I already tried reinstalling the game, and I have all of the latest Microsoft updates, driver updates (audio and video), Halo patch 1.031, tried different settings within the program, both audio and video, etc. Have AntiAliasing and Antrioscopic filtering off. I even got another drive and did a clean install of Windows XP (with nothing but the game/patches), patched, installed halo, patched, same damn thing!!
I've been to different forums here , and here, and it's a known issue...but no answers!! I saw something about a refresh issue, but no detail, although I don't know if that's MY issue.


Any info, links, etc. would be appreciated! 😕
 
I had issues with Halo too, but not that one. I have DFI mobo w ATI 9700 vid card.using n force sound storm chip. 1 gig ram. I reinstalled the game several times, downloaded patch and it now runs o.k.but it freezes every so often. I do know this game is "buggy". wish I could help. My os is Win 98 SE. I know there is nothing more frustrating than buying a game that won't work.
 
I had this error when I had the XP themes turned on. I had to switch to the "Classic" theme.

Of course, I had the cracked UXTheme.dll so I can run any theme I want to.
