Halo 2 on Vista crashes - Help

Hi,

I am running Halo 2 on Vista but I get part way through the game (2 - 5
minutes) and it crashes out. I have updated Video drivers, Direct X etc but
still no luck. Has anyone had this problem and is there a fix or work around
that can be suggested. Thank you.

What sort of crash? System falls over with a blue screen, or Halo 2 falls
back to the desktop?

I had problem until I installed a beta WHQL video driver - try
searching for "Nvidia 160.04 32bit" or Nvidia 160.04 64bit" whichever
applies to you. I downloaded it from www.guru3d.com. Good luck.

Dear paul,
I have got problems with Halo 2 on Vista. As the game starts within 5 mins
my monitor goes blank and the LED of my monitor keeps blinking...But my CPU
is still on and running(i dont think my CPU got hanged or Crashed). I then
need to restart my Pc. The same problem repeats when the game starts
again!..Any Help here Paul????

i recently added a new Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS grapic card.....(U think this
doesnt support the game)
my pc config is Dual Core 3.0ghz/Intel 945GNTL motherboard/2gb Ram/320Gb
Hard Disk/and the new Graphic Card i added.
pls help me out paul....

with best regards,
Sid.
