Halo 2 Problem

ruffianz · 06-23-2009, 12:54 PM

Hi,

I recently bought a HALO 2 DVD from best buy and installed it on my laptop (Windows Vista). However, after installation when I try to play the game, I get the below error.

"Initialization failed:Either insufficient system resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged. Reinstalling the game may fix the problem."

I have tried re installing it several times but fruitless :(

Kindly help.

Most likely your laptop has a crappy integrated graphics card or intel graphics which means you'll have to get a new computer because laptops aren't upgradable for their key components like CPU, motherboard and GPU.
