Hi All,
After loading Splinter Cell onto my XP machine, I
attempted to begin play. About midway through the boot-up
phase, the following message appeared:

General protection fault!

History: FD3DTexture::Cache <-
UD3DRenderDevice::CacheTexture <-
UD3DRenderDevice::PrimeResources <-
UD3DRenderDevice::SetRes <-
UWindowsViewport::TryRenderDevice <-
UWindowsViewport::OpenWindow <- UGameEngine::Init <-
InitEngine

Any idea what the problem is or how I need to
correct it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Dave
Can you give us some more details about your computer? Does it meet the
requirements to play the game

Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
800 MHz Pentium III or AMD Athlon
256 MB RAM
DirectX 8.1
32 MB video card
DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
8x speed CD/DVD-ROM drive
1.5 GIG Hard Drive Space

and one of the following video cards:
Nvidia GeForce2 Ti/Ultra/Pro/GTS/MX400/MX
Nvidia GeForce3 family

If yes are you running up to date drivers for your video card with the
desktop colour depth set to 32bit?
