Halo Combat Evolved video problem.?
I have a somewhat old pc (2.52 ghz; 2 gigs ram; xp professional svp 3; Nvidea geoForce fx 5200 graphics card; directX 9.0c) That used to run Halo combat evolved just fine; I stopped playing for a while, and when I came back to play it again I discovered it wouldn't run- it launches then freezes just before playing the intro videos (the company logo ones). I don't know what all changes I've made to the pc from when I last played, but running the game in it's most limited mode, in which those videos aren't loaded, it works if anyone has ideas, please help.
Update:Following some trial and error, the problem has been isolated as the joystick function (ie: using - nojoystick solves the problem for halo; the only joystick I have installed is a xbox360 one...help!)
