    Halo 2 freezes with blank, black screen when loading "The Arbiter" (gasgiant) level.

    Yesterday, I purchased Halo 2 for Windows Vista from a local retailer. I run Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop. It has an ATI Radeon X1250 integrated graphics card. For further specs, please see the DxDiag information below.

    The game is, of course, legal (I can provide a photograph of the original game box and disc) and activates as expected.

    I am experiencing a game-stopping issue: whenever the game attempts to load the fourth level, "The Arbiter" (gasgiant), it presents the "Halo 2" loading screen, followed by a black screen (the LCD backlight remains on, but the screen is black) -- occasionally there is a brief glimpse of the cutscene, but that disappears and the screen goes black. No sound is heard. The hard disk heads park, and no further disk activity occurs. The computer becomes unresponsive to any input, even Ctrl-Alt-Del. After waiting 10 minutes to see if there was any activity (there was not), I force-restarted the computer.

    Prior to loading the system, Windows presented the "Windows did not shut down properly..." warning, to which I answered "Start Windows Normally". As expected, the operating system loaded properly with no further error messages.

    All levels prior to "The Arbiter" load and play normally. However, since I cannot start (let alone complete) this level, I am unable to proceed in the game.

    I have attempted to resolve the issue as follows:
    - Restart the computer, then attempt to load the level normally.
    - Uninstall Halo 2, reinstall, then attempt to load the level normally from my saved campaign.
    - Uninstall Halo 2, delete saved game, reinstall, start game from the beginning.
    - Uninstall Halo 2, delete all registry entries relating to it, reinstall, and attempt to load the level normally from my saved campaign.
    - Uninstall Halo 2, delete all registry entries relating to it, delete saved game, reinstall, and start teh game from the beginning.
    - All of the above, both with and without the most recent updates from Microsoft for Halo 2 and LIVE.

    All of these attempts have resulted in failure -- the same problem occurs at the same place in the game. None of my attempts have had the slightest effect on the problem.

    To the best of my knowledge, all hardware drivers are up-to-date. Windows Vista is fully up-to-date via the Microsoft Update service.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a known solution to this problem? If so, what?

    If necessary, I would be happy to provide any additional details that would aid in diagnosing the problem.

    Many thanks!

    Re: Halo 2 freezes with blank, black screen when loading "The Arbiter" (gasgiant) level.

    Update: Completely formatted system, installed Windows Vista Home Premium a second time, performed all the various Windows Updates, updated all drivers to the most recent available version, installed Halo 2 again, updated Halo 2 with the updates available on LIVE, and still the problem persists.

    Anyone have any recommended solutions?

    I'm at the point where I'm strongly considering trying to return the game to the retailer, as it's clearly not working.

    Cheers!

    Re: Halo 2 freezes with blank, black screen when loading "The Arbiter" (gasgiant) level.

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem. After I destroy the big bug over the town the big ship jump over the city and on the loading of the next load, it freezes on a black screen. It's seems to be end game for me. I play on an LG laptop with windows vista home premium.

    The fun playing halo begin to be wipe by the problems with halo2 on viste. The first deception being halo2 on windows vista...

    Hope someone can help us...

    Re: Halo 2 freezes with blank, black screen when loading "The Arbiter" (gasgiant) level.

    I have the exact same problem.

    I have a perfect legit copy of Halo 2 (updated with the latest patch) and Vista (64-bit Business). Built my own rig: Q6600, 4GB RAM, Asus P5W Deluxe motherboard and Nvidia 8800 GTX graphics card.

    I can actually see the loading screen, the Halo 2 logo and then the "progress bar" moves for some seconds before it freezes. I can terminate Halo 2 and get returned to the desktop. I also get the "Halo 2 has stopped working" error message, but I'm unable to navigate to the view details button, so I can't see which module causes this freeze/crash.

    Has anyone found a solution yet?

    Since heypete has an ATI gfx card and mine's a Nvidia, I doubt this is a graphical issue - shouldn't be either since it happens at the loading screen.

    Is it possible to use another save with unlocked levels to bypass this?
    I have to play the entire Metropolis level in order to get to the point where Halo 2 crashes, or hopefully doesn't, and the tank driving sequence gets kind of tedious after a while...

    By the way, do you run Kaspersky AV?
    I do and just found this post...
