Halo Multiplayer

I've got Halo, and recently got a Vista computer. I uploaded it and it all
works fine. Except for multiplayer.

It says I need to be an Administator to download the next patch.

But I am the administator. I'm the only user the use this computer.

Is there a way to bypass getting the patch? or can someone tell me how to
download the patch without the error coming up?

Thanks

Right click on the Halo shortcut and choose Run as administrator.

Re: Halo Multiplayer

There is a patch?

How do I get it? Right-clicking on the game in GE just has "play" as an
option and I don't see a download option anywhere in the game itself.

When you run Halo 1 PC, and click Multiplayer the game checks for a patch,
if you don't "Run as Admin" the game won't patch correctly. If the patch
does not download you "should" be able to find it on the Microsoft website
somewhere if you do a little searching.
