When i try to play Halo CE i get a graphics card error it is 0x5d57 and it says graphics card might not have a graphics accelerator. I can play halo PC but only after i downloaded the 1.06 patch, if i dont have the patch it says the same thing that halo ce says. Is there a way to fix this problem?
My graphics card is an extreme ax 800 xt and it is one of the newest ones on the market.

well, the only thing i can think of is updating your video card.

go to the start menu, go to control panal. Click "printers and other hardwear" and on your left will be "also see's" click on system and click hardware and then device maneger. Scroll down to "display adapers and open it. There should be your video card in it, click your video card. Now click trubleshoot first. then click driver. Now click "Update driver".


(WARNING, CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL COMPUTER DOCTER BEFOR DOING THE FALLOWING! THIS WILL TAKE AWAY ANY UPDATES YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED FOR YOUR CARD)
------------------------------------------------------------------
If that doesent work then you might start thinking about using your roll back driver found in where the "update driver" thing is. This will remove any updates that may be keeping you from playing halo.

Befor doing anything further it would be best to talk to your computer docter and have them take a look at it.

If any of that doesent work then I dont know what will. Good luck bro =)

No because i had to update halo pc to get that to work so it has something to do with the old version of ce. I need a ce update but gearbox dosnt have one.

I guess i cant play halo ce

I think Halo only supports certain graphics cards. Like ati or geForce. If you want to play ce so badly then I suggest buying a good graphics card that isnt too new, isnt too old. Which is usually around 200 bucks
I got my Ati 9600 se for 200

lol i got my Radeon 9800 for 200

well i got my extreme ax 800 xt for $650 and i cant downgrage because i need a pci x16 and there arnt any good ones like that.
Will gearbox ever update halo ce?

Thank You alot it works!!!

For anyone else that has this problem you must:
-Download the binkw32.dll and the strinds.dll and place them in you halo ce directory.

For More Info Goto:
Gearbox form: Compatibility Fix for Windows XP SP2 and certain 2
and
Bungie form: WinXP SP2 / HaloPC / 256MB video card compat fix

Start --> Run --> "dxdiag" (without quotes) --> Display

Hit the buttons "DirectDraw acceleration", "Direct3D acceleration", and "AGP texture acceleration" (last one only if u have an AGP card". They should be enabled (the first 2 for sure). Now try the tests. If they work halo probably will.

yeay i can play ce wif mi new card
me got a radeon 9600 PRO
