Default HALO CE on vista problems

kay, so since halo 3 came out, and i dont have an xbox 360 i decided to go back and play halo 1 on my computer. i heard of this supposedly amazing thing called Halo custom edition. so i download and instal..

the game runs, however the screen freezes on the "halo welcome" screen (the one before the menu with single player, multi etc..) there is sound, and i can navigate thru the menu blindly, and i even managed to start a slayer game. the audio works as if i was playing but the screen remains on the welcome screen of halo.

this problem occurs on a sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z laptop, with windows vista.

ive been reading posts for the past couple of weeks on many forums yet no one seems to have posted of a similar program. i even tried reinstalling halo pc, and halo ce, as well as redownloading halo ce.

Please help.

Urh well Sony Vaio mostly come with Intel graphic media accelerators, which suck for gaming. Post the system specs of you're laptop. Also did you try left clicking on the halo CE icon, go to compatibilities, and click run as administrator?

Urh wow that must have cost a lot looking at the blue ray, nice. But you didn't post the video card. You have to list it because if it's made by Intel or some other onboard video card then it wouldn't halo that well. Also try updating you're video card drivers.

Have you tried uninstalling CE and reinstalling it? That always works for me.

It doesn't have those "commercials" as you call them anyway, its a copied version of the game exept made for modding and mapping.

Your life, ends with me.
