halo 2 min requirements
Just to make sure, you know that Halo2 only runs on Vista, right? If your
laptop is XP it won't install/run. The minimum Windows Experience Index (WEI) for Halo2 is 3.0, check your WEI in the control panel under the "Performance information and tools" icon (in classic view). I don't know how the installer works but if your WEI is too small it may not let you install. You can find out what is holding the laptop back (usually display speeds) with WEI. Hope that helps!

thanx for quick reply mark. laptop is vista, i didnt mention that as this is a vista forum  my wei is 3.3 and that is the graphics thatsholding it back. any more suggestions welcome. might try changing power settings to max performance as maybe the installer is seeing the 'cool and quiet' speed for the cpu, just guessing though. -- gazzacbr

what I had to do with my laptop was get rid of amd's power saving software
and let it run wide open all the time. Most games would read my processor at ~800 when it was a 2ghz. That helped me out immensely......
