- Solutions
A. Download and update your video card driver
B. Download and update your sound card driver
C. Check your BIOS settings for IRQ and VGA, memory settings, and apeture size
D. Download and install DirectX 9.0
E. Start -> Run -> dxdiag - Under the Display tab, make sure that all DirectX features are enabled
F. Make sure your desktop color setting is set at True 32-bit color
G. Start -> Run -> dxdiag - Under More Help, click Override and set it to 60 or 70
H. C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft Entertainment\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Demo\SYSTEM - Edit splintercell.ini. Find the lines that say:
WindowedViewportX=640
WindowedViewportY=480
FullscreenViewportX=640
FullscreenViewportY=480
and change them to:
WindowedViewportX=800
WindowedViewportY=600
FullscreenViewportX=800
FullscreenViewportY=600
I. C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft Entertainment\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell\SYSTEM

look for the file named splintercell.ini. some people may read it as splintercell (because they have the "hide extenstions for known file types" checked on in thier "folder options->view" option area).anyway double click it and it should open with notepad, scroll down to the section titled [WinDrv.WindowsClient] and look for Startup Fullscreen. if it says =TRUE, change it to =FALSE, save the changes and close it.

now start the game, when it pops up to the main menu, hit alt+F4 to make it full screen and play!
J. Your video card may not be supported to play TCSC. If so, you might want to concider buying a new video card.


CONTROL
- Problems
1. Sam is wondering around in circles
2. Sam seems to stare up at the sky and ceilings
3. Sam moves without me touching a thing
- Solutions
A. If you have an external controller, such as a joytick, or a joypad, unplug it and reload TCSC
B. C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft Entertainment\Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell\SYSTEM - Find splintercell.ini and edit the following line

UseJoystick=True
change it to
UseJoystick=False

C. Download and update your keyboard driver
D. Download and update your mouse driver


If you have a problem which was not resolved by the above soultions, please post here the problem, your computer specs, and the error (if any)

Thankyou,
