Splinter Cell Double Agent

[Leoscorpio]

Hi! I have the original game, installed the latest patch (1.02), but I cannot launch the game from the desktop! The game seems to be launching, a screen begins to open but then stops halfway and I get this error message: "Splinter Cell exe. has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The "Hardware Detection Tool" passed my system in all the tests (Pentium 4 / 3.20GHz with Hyperthreading, MSI Geforce 6800GT / 256MB and 1GB of RAM). So, if I even have the "recommended settings" why doesn't it work? Is anyone having the same problem, which has nothing to do with the 3.0 shaders issue because my graphic card has them? Thanks in advance!
