It may be something wrong with your setup.exe
Perhaps try a new setup.exe, you can find one off the net, or you can try another CD.
The next thing you need to do is scan your computer for viruses, spyware, trojans, ect., because there may be something that is preventing this mod from being deleted, or something might have infected the setup itself.

Try these two things and then lets work from there.

System restore would probably only replace drivers and such in the windows directories.  I doubt it would affect stuff in Program Files or Documents and Settings.

I don't know anything about mods, but I would check two things after uninstalling Halo

1) make sure all files under Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo  (or whatever the path is) are actually all deleted.  Maybe reinstalling over the top wouldn't delete whatever files you're talking about.  Did you Add/Remove programs and uninstall, or just reinstall?

2) go into c:\documents and settings\<your login>\My Games\Halo (not sure again what the exact path is - probably all that would be there is a profile and/or saved games, but... ) see if there are any files there - might want to delete those too if there are

Well, it sounds like you've managed to do some additional/worse damage with your attempts, tho, but I bet that you never bothered to check the Halo stuff that gets stored in YOUR PROFILE FOLDER. (Everyone misses this, so it's not just you!  ::) )

Open your "My Documents" folder, and then go into "My Games" and rename your "Halo" folder there to something else.

Then try running Halo, create a new profile, and see if the mod is gone now. (Although if it's a true "mod" it may have changed stuff in the Halo directory, but if you REALLY managed to delete that COMPLETELY and reinstall it correctly from scratch, then that can't be it.... Which leaves the Halo folder in your profile folder....)

GL & toodles for a while!

Ok.. So now I THINK I know whats causing it..

I can play halo with sound and no mod.. but after I use the update so I can play online multiplayer the sound goes away and the mod comes back.. Is there a way I can play online without using the update?

Halo update is called

haloupdate and its and application

Any other way I can play without having to update it with that?
