Halo 1 Not Working on Windows 7 x64

backwards compatibilityhalo-combat-evolvedwindowswindows 7

I recently installed Halo: Combat Evolved and patched it to version 1.09. When I run it, it plays the logo videos fine but then when it gets to the menu, it plays only the music on a black screen. Is there a compatibility problem with my system?

My specs:

  • Windows 7 Professional x64
  • Intel Core i3-3110m 2.4Ghz
  • Intel HD Graphics 4000
  • 8 GB DDR3 RAM

Try installing it in the default directory (don't pick somewhere else). I tried every tweak I could find on the net, and nothing was working. Then I decided to go with the default directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo) and voila, none of the other stuff (compatibility, etc.) was necessary -- it worked fine.
