Halo 1.02 Runs Like Sh..

[SoD]

Got Halo from Bittorent applied the official patch.

When i run halo the game freezes from time to time or peforms very poorly. When i open taskmanager and return to the game immediately the game continues.

I've tried every solution from video setting: 1600x1200 up to 800x600 and every audio setting

The game runs on a P4 2.6G ATI Readon 9600 Pro 128 and has onboard leatek AC97 soundcard. This sould not be the problem

Only thing i can think of is:
- the games tries to access the internet automaticly via cable OR
- in the sound settings menu: enviromental sound and hardware acceleration are options i can't choose from in the menu. They aren't highlighted. So i guess the game performs audio always on a software bases.

Anyone has these same problems or better has a solution.

i think it could be your card (i heard radeons don't work well) but i could be wrong..
