If you are having trouble with the Splinter Cell, such as the game crashing, freezing or other related problems, please try the following tips:
Your desktop color depth MUST be set to True Color ( 32 bit).
If you are playing on Windows XP, disable the Sticky Keys in Windows. To do this Click Here.
If you have an nVidia based video card ( GeForce2, GeForce3, GeForce4 family), make sure you have the 41.09 or 30.82 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.
Make sure your computer meets the full minimum requirements for this game.
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.
Also note that on supported 32MB video cards, we recommend to play with minimal specs ( minimal resolution 640x480; minimal shadow resolution and minimal shadow details) to avoid any crashes.
