That's not the point...

Would you mind posting your system specs?

I noticed in you're screenshot it shows your system rating which is 3.1. The game recommends 5.0. But it shouldn't be a problem. My brother runs the game with a 3.1 rating. Is there something wrong with your disc, or are you not using a disc...

well even thought he has not posted his specs I think that I can safely say that is his problem.

I'm not very good with spanish but what I get from that is that you NEED a 3.0 to play H2V, he has a 3.1, and 5.0 is recommended(BS I play on full settings with a 4.1). He has very little wiggle room and honestly I think an upgrade is needed to even play the game properly.

It's probably your RAM. The guages say that you are using 79% of your RAM and it doesn't look like you were doing much. If you are going to run Halo 2 Vista then you probably want at least 1GB of RAM (I had that for a while and it worked OK). And the rating doesn't mean much. Mine is 2.7 and I run Halo 2 with medium video settings. Also, if you post your specs then it will be a lot easier to find what the problem is.

i also noticed your computer is set up in a differant language, it only works in english. jk. did you install vista on a clean partition? if you think its your disc just download a copy of it, i did kinda for backup purposes and to test my upgraded internet connection. a rating of 3.1 should run the game.. 3 is the minimum requirements, mine is only a 4.1 but my new computer isn't up and running quite yet so that'll change.

You should first try closing ALL other applications running in the background, from that pic I noticed that already there was 79% of your RAM in use....
