Hello everyone, would you mind helping me with this minor issue I've been having while playing halo, its been doing it since I've installed it, if you can't help, that's understandable to. Whenever I minimize my game of halo, I can't bring it back up for some reason. It'll show in the upper left hand corner Halo, but it wont come up, I wait forever, and it never comes up, so I end up, closing it out, and ending the game. At first I tried to get used to it, but sometimes my screen will minimize because of updates, and other stuff, and its really annoying because I can't bring back up my game of halo. I tried reinstalling it, but it would still do the same thing, if you can figure out something to fix this, that would be great!
Thanks,

LordJohnx3

John, does this happen when you alt-tab as well? Or just when the game minimizes itself to install updates?

its a video driver issue , its been around for years , some drivers work some dont dont some games will let you some wont , alot of WOW players are still running the old 185 nvidia drivers cos these dont have the bug

there isnt alot you can do about it unfortunately unless you start madly installing old drivers till you find some that work

the only way around it is playing in windowed mode (i dont know if Halo has this option) but it will hit your fps quite bad
