Trouble installing Halo

Chessman.exe · 02-26-2008, 10:38 AM

I currently have halo (full) on my computer, however, i wanted to play halo trial because my friend has that on his computer. whenever i try to install halo, it finishes the install, then when i open the halo.exe file, it has a popup saying, "Gathering exception data" and then dies. ive tried reinstalling the game numerous times, even on one of my other 6 hard drives. nothing works. thanks for your help.

Do you have the full version of the game installed? The demo has older files it may stick in ur windows directory and its conflicting with the full version because the files where replaced. It could also use the same registry entries.

>_> not to be rude, but i already said i have the full halo :)
what can i do to make it work?
i dont have the disc anymore, so i'd have to d-load it with bittorrent :(
i dont want to do that, but if i have to :\
thanks again.

I know you have it but i asked was it installed?? There is no way of making a game run when you have changed its files around or edited the registry in a certain way.
You could always tell your friend to get the full version. Its dirt cheap now anyway.
Sorry its not the answer your looking for..
