I've tried the command line multiple times:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHaloHalo.exe -vidmode1680,1050,60

no dice, it keeps saying it can't find it...but if I remove the extra command line, Halo starts right up...what's the deal?

That should be ...

C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHaloHalo.exe -vidmode 1680,1050,60

not ...

C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHaloHalo.exe -vidmode1680,1050,60

Also ... from the solution thread ...

EDIT : some more info for you ... I just reinstalled to double check things worked ... :D

Get patch 1.6 from here ... http://www.fileplanet.com/130978/download/Halo-v1.00---v1.06-Patch
If you let the game auto update then it will update to 1.07 and the FOV hack won't work.

Here are some screenshots ...
Click to enlarge ... even when enlarged they are not full size.

Normal 4x3 ...

16:9 ... with FOV hack you can alter the FOV to whatever you like ... it only works with version 1.0 to 1.06 ... get it here ... http://toca.game-editing.net/files

well I got a ATI 1900 all in wonder
but would that stop me from changing the Command line?
Any Command line does not work for me in the two games
I tried to use them BF 2 & Halo
