Halo 2 on Vista problems
My installation of Halo 2 on Vista is not working. I get to the part where the Arbiter gets pushed off the ledge when Keyes gets captured and he loses the icon. The game complains about needing the DVD, I insert it and I have to repeat the whole level. Twice. I’m taking a break […]
