You can try changing the Splintercelluser.ini (something like that) file in the system directory. Change the resolution setting to 800x600 (or if it's at 800x600 already, then try 640x480 - i forget which is the default).
This works for some - didn't work for me - my friend was able to run the game using an ATI Radeon 128Mb card, so I think it's a graphics card issue.

Yes i think your right gh0sth@cker
@ WhatWhat Are you talking about the official demo or the full game your trying to run. I had the official demo off PCZONE mag and i had the exact same error message as you as did 1000s of other people. (you just need to have a look on the splintercell web site/Forums). I now have the Full game and diddnt experience any probs like i did in the demo. Great game. What graphics card do you have ? You probarly know this but ill post it just incase Make sure you have the new drivers for your graphics card. I have a freind who was trying to play this game a with a TNT and he has same probs as you
