yea, its not there. i had added something that makes it go away for faster startups. so, instead i went into the halo folder and ran it from there. same problem. cool got on xfire with me and had me uninstall and reinstall. when i went to update again, it would only download 1.08,none of the others, also, no matter how many times that i "installed" the patch, it always came up saying that theres another update, downloading the same patch again. i went on the inernet and got patched for 1.01-1.05 but i cant find any others :( i cant even get online anymore!
just found the updater's log file.
