Problems with Halo

alexanderr101 · 02-03-2008, 09:16 PM

When I go to run halo a window pops up saying"A problem occurred initializing Direct3D. Hardware
acceleration maybe disabled, please run DXDIAG." Where can I find this program to run? And will it fix my game?

Help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

Click start>Run> type dxdiag

Click the display tab. Run both tests and let us know what happens.

Can you run any other 3d games?

Have you tried reinstalling your graphics card drivers?

Have you tried re-seating your video card?
