A video driver is the software that 'translates' outputted graphics to your video card. You can probably download a driver for your video card off the internet, but you have to know what type of card you have.

What I think you mean is that you have a bad video card, which is probable for Halo since it needs a better video card than what normally comes with a new computer. Try a simple Google search for video cards or go to your local computer/electronic/whatever store to buy a new one. Some well known video card companys are ATI (Radeon), nVidia (GeForce) etc.

I have a nVidia TNT2.
So your saying i can download a new video driver from nVidias website?
But does the video driver have to corrispond with the type of video card?
