I wanna play Halo 2 Vista.
I've got it running on my Windows XP with a hack that someone's done, BUT it HAS TO RUN THROUGH A LAUNCHER!, this means that no matter what, I just can't get it to run through 3D Analyze because it only 3DANALYZES the launcher!, not the game exe!
Help please, I can get the game running because I have the right shaders, but it's TOO DARN SLOW!
I need to lower the quality using 3D Analyzse.

Game is SHADER 2.0
I have Geforce 5500, capable of running the game SLOWLY!

How to do it?

I'm trying to play a game which HAS to be run through the launcher (Halo 2 Vista, on Windows XP), I can get it to play properly but it is TOO slow.

I can't lower the shaders or use any features in 3DA because:

I CANT GET IT TO RUN IN 3DANALYZE, it requires the launcher, therefore, 3DA runs shader overrides on the launcher, but NOT THE GAME!

I simply can't launch the game with 3DANALYZE, please fix this thing!
