Halo 2 refuses to install - can't find performance information
Hi,
I just bought the retail dvd of Halo 2 and I'm trying to install it on Windows 7.
The install pops up a message box that says
and the installation stops when I hit 'Run' anyway."This computer's performance information has not been created.
You should create performance information on this computer before running Halo 2 for Windows Vista.
Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, and Performance Information and Tools."
But I have done a performance test to create a score of 5.9. I have a quad core i7 with 12 gig of ram and a 2gig Nvidia graphics card. It seems Halo 2 just doesn't recognise the performance information.
I've searched but I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem.
Any help appreciated.
(As a programmer, I can't believe Microsoft seems to have locked this game into Vista-specific requirements - that violates the basic future-proofing principles that Microsoft has been espousing to programmers for years. Sheesh.)
