I've got a shop bought copy of Splinter Cell for the PC and have managed to install it. But, whenever I start to run it a message comes up saying;
I'm using Windows XP Home if it makes a difference...Quote:
Critical Error
General Protection fault
History:
...does anyone know how to fix it?
what gfx card you got?
what's the rest of the error?
That's the whole error message and the card im useing is Verto GFORCE FX 5200 PCI The game came free with the card.
have you updated ur gfx drivers?
No, I'll do that. I got the card and game today, the game was included in the graphics pack, shouldn't it run with the drives it came with?
yea it should....but you never know :D
the only time i got that General Protection Fault error was when i tried Raven Shield on my tnt2 riva 32mb card.... and the error said that the fault was GRAPHICAL....which meant that the card didnt support the game :(
so that was my bet here....but u got a 5200....so it should run....but maybe if u update drivers it can be cool :D
I'll try that tomorrow, thank's for your help B)
Just d/l the 52.16 driver and it's now working, thank's allot DWK :)
anytime :)
I've got one more question though, although the game works it does stutter a bit. My monitor's really old and the top rez I can get while playing the game is only 800x600, would that be the reason it doesn't run smoothly or shouldn't that be a problem?
well.... it shouldnt but it could be.... maybe not the resolution but the fact that the monitor is pretty old...
do you know brand/model of your monitor?
Don't know it's specs, I've had it for about 5 years, It's by Packard Bell though...
...probably time to buy a new one ;)
maybe you could update your monitor drivers....
good idea, I'll try that first, thank's again B)
I ad the same problem with splinter cell as arcadia. It wouldn't be my gfx card would it? It was pre installed in my hp laptop <_<
did you update drivers?
no, not yet, but this error happens just before i start the training mission. i see the videos and then it happens.
well then try to update em :)
man, i'm trying to update my drivers but during installation it says
Setup was unable to complete installation. Try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup
It an ati gfx card, any ideas?
bleh sry..... dont use and havent used ati cards.... i thought u had same card as Arcadia :ph34r:
