A. Download and update your video card driver
B. Download and update your sound card driver

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

1. Sam is wondering around in circles

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

If people didnt complane so much about it not working then the game would have come out when it was sapose to what are you people with geforce 2 thinking it will work on a 3 year old card its like trying to play an abox game on a sega saturn.There are cards out there like a radeon 9000 witch will work well with the game and cost like $70.00 if you shop online.

Ahem, I've got my eye on you Mike. Stealing, yea, stealing my lines. Like a bad comedian. LOL.Good work helping these people, I don't even know why you put up with it.

My specs:

Pentium 4 2.4 Gigahertz
512 Mb RD Ram (PC 800)
nVidia GeForce 4 4200 64 Mb w/ Tv-Out

I take that in a bad way, I only have a G-Force 2 MX 200 64MB card with a AMD 1.4Ghz chip, SoundBlaster Live Value, and 512MB ram And I HAVE HAD NO PROBLES WITH TCSC AND I DIDN"T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO IT, So I think before you go putting down peoples hardware no what the #$%@ your talking about.
