Halo 2....doesn't seem to like it's own operating system

yes I know you all hate this game and think it's rubbish but I got a nice discount off it so I thought why not.

Anyway whenever I try to start it (as i do wish to get my moneys worth) it crashes to a blue screen and does a memory dump and when I boot into windows again I get this message:

"windows has recovered from an unexpected shut down"

and then when I click the details tab I get:

"Problem signature:

Please no comments about I shouldn't have bought it or it's crap.

thanks

the new beta 158.45's

There's been loadsa people saying it fixed lots of bugs for them but for me nothing :confused:

dreamscene still crashes and games are jumpy during cut scenes and loading vids, not that it's much of a problem but it's annoying.

What other vista drivers are there? I've only tried these so far.

Well apparently it SHOULD run fine on something like that as it uses DX9 not 10.

I've just installed the 158.24's the official ones so I'll try these in a minute and if these don't work it'll have to be the 160's.

Thanks for your help and replys so far guys

i was having the exact same problems as you, i tried the latest nvidia drivers and the beta's but they didn't work, googled the 160's and it now works perfectly, seems like this is what you need Here!

Awesome! thanks these work awesomely

There are a few artefacts but in a game like this I kinda expected it.

Thanks for that though
