Steve,
there is a workaround that seems to be helping some people, try this:

Heres a problem with the new halo2 and a work around,

Machine

AMD 5600 on ABIT board with 2 gbs Ram, 8800gts 320 mb- Windows Vista
Ultimate

Symptom

Halo 2 crashes and forces reboot right after loading the bungie Screen.
Happens every time. Updated all drivers to newest without success.

However if I press space to prevent the bungie logo from loading and go
directly to main menu. Halo 2 runs fine. If anybody else has this problem
is
there a fix?

The other question is there a bug in the bungie logo screen that causes
this?

Thanx

game but soon as the Halo 2 title comes up it freezes and says its not
responding

A8n32-sli Deluxe dual 2GBS crucial Ram 8800gts 320mb vista ultimate 64 bit

If my bungie logo shows, the machine crashes and its to late, in order to
stop my problem I have to keep pressing spacebar until I get past that
screen. Then it works fine.

I tried the esc button but it will not prevent the bungie logo from loading,
go figure!
