Vista - halo 2 installing CPU problem

i am using vista premium, i bought halo 2 , i tried installing it but for some reason it said that my processor was 1100 and it required 1500.
but my processor is intel (R) core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @2.20ghz, 1.10mhz
plz help me i reli want to play!

is that your system properties that is telling you your cpu speed @2.2ghz 1.10ghz?

as this indicates that your not getting the full speed from your cpu. do you have power saving features enabled as these will affect that also can you adjust your fsb in the bios as this may be set wrong.

had the same thing happen when i upgraded to a quad core but 2 minutes in the bios putting the settings right sorted it.

hi locopoko1

did you mean your CPU speed is.....2.211ghz

or that your CPU speed is in fact 1.1ghz..??

i am not clear as to this message you receive ....
''it said that my processor was 1100 and it required 1500.''

can you capture these prompts & post them for clarification..
thx

locopoko, look in your bios to ensure speed step is turned off. It can be found under the c1e function. There are other settings in the same area that may also change the speed. 1 other question, are you using a laptop.

i am using a laptop and i dont think i hav a speedstep

and yes i also mkeant my CPU was 2.2GHz wrong typing, i hav also set my computer to the highest performence

All laptops use speed step. Is the decrease in speed when you are running from battery? This is normal for a laptop.

The problem seems to be that the game's installer is giving the message that his cpu is only 1.1GHz. SpeedStep should not interfere with this.

If you don't want to mess around with the bios, I have an idea that might help? Put your game cd in the drive and let the installer prompt appear, but don't click install yet. Then open a browser and go stream some video... do anything taxing that will allow SpeedStep to return your machine to it's normal 2.2GHz speed. Once you've run the video for a second or two you should be fine, then click on install.

At some point during the installation you should shut the browser down... hopefully you recall at what point you got this message? Right after that point, kill the browser.

It may work, it may not, but hey, it's worth a shot, right? Never heard of SpeedStep getting in the way of an install before.

ummm i am a computer noob can you explain step by step what to do? detaily plz thank you

i also never heard of an install failure due to SpeedStep ...

but here we go....
