Halo 2 Installing problem

Well I recently got a new disc drive and went to install halo 2 again. But when I run the startup.exe like it says to, the installation comes up but it's just a blue background with nothing in it. I'll attach a picture. I tried finding something on the internet but no one else had this problem, so I thought I'd ask here.

Is there an autorun.exe file on the disc?

Re: Halo 2 Installing problem

Yeah i installed it a while ago, before i got my new graphics card so it didn't run well. I uninstalled it after a while, but when i got a new card my disc drive broke so i haven't been able to play it until i got my new disc drive.
