Is that a 32 bit or 64 bit system you are using? It works fine on my Vista 32 bit but have heard of compatability issues with the 64 bit.

Is it by any chance a laptop?

No description of the graphics accelerator. I am running PT on a 64bit version of Vista with a wide screen resolution with no problems.

ssathish99..^^
would be great if you could update us where you graphics are concerned. Maybe not even video RAM can be your issue, as I see your trying to run the game on a laptop :S

According to Dell, the laptop comes with http://www.dell.com/content/pr...=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19 (http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsnb_m1330?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19) (click on Tech Specs):
Standard:
Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

Like most onboard graphics chipsets, it is not that good for playing games. If you try the lowest settings it MAY work but don't count on it. Check out some of these benchmarks for it- even for an onboard chipset it is not that great.

I had a error when I clicked on the desktop Icon which was created when I installed Pandora Tomorrow on Vista. I managed to get the game to work by going into the Splinter Cell game folder, selecting Offline folder and then opening System folder, scroll down the lists of files until you see a Splinter Cell2 Icon, using this icon to run the game worked for me.
