...dont follow orders!!

My archers do not follow the halt command. As soon as an enemy comes into range they open up AND start to fire at a unit I just told them to stop firing at. (which is usually because I have a unit about to engage.)

This happened in MTW all the time..I want it fixed!!

There are two possible issues.

1) You are de-activating "fire at will", right? Just pressing "halt" will not stop the archers from firing at will.

2) Even after pressing "fire at will" the archers will for some reason still fire the shot they are reloading for. This falls into the "silly bug" category. After that shot they do stop as ordered.

So if you've told your archers to fire at a specific unit you have to press "fire at will" and "halt". Otherwise just pressing "fire at will" should make them stop shooting (eventually). That's how it works for me anyhow.

Try disbaling fire at will

I suppose you have them at "fire at will". Switch it off with "A", it should help...
