-Your desktop color depth MUST be set to True Color (32 bit)

-If you have an nVidia based video card (GeForce2, GeForce3, GeForce4 family), make sure you have the 43.45 video drivers installed. You can get these drivers from http://www.nvidia.com

-If you have a ATI based video card (Radeon 8500/9000/9500/9700 family), make sure you have the Catalyst 2.5 (6218 for 2000/XP) or better drivers installed. You can get these drivers from http://www.ati.com

-If you have a Matrox Parhelia video card, make sure you have the 1.02.00.042 drivers installed. You can get these drivers from http://www.matrox.com

-If you have an AMD based system, please make sure that you have the latest BIOS and chipset driver installed

-Make sure that AGP support is enabled in the DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag) and get the latest DirectX...9.0a I think it is...

-Try editing the 'SplinterCellUser.ini' file in the 'system' folder of the game directory. Look for ´Resolution´ near the bottom of the file. Change 640x480 to 800x600, and save the file. Try the game again

-As a last resort, try lowering the sound acceleration in the dxdiag tool


If you meet the minimum specs, and you have the supported hardware it should run. If it don't it will when you get the bads fixed. It's only a matter of getting to know wich flaw it is, hehe...
