splinter cell double agent question ?

double agent is the only splinter cell game i havent completed!! its meant for xp but now i want to try it on win 7 ? has anyone had problems playing this on win 7? the weird thing is SP : conviction worked perfectly on my old card (9500 gt) while this game was showing weird textures and lighting so i abandoned it till i got a new card which i now have (HD 6850)!! the mission in the glacier where sam wears a cool white stealth suit ... i couldnt see far off from where i was, only if the enemy is close he appears on my screen so i figured my card couldnt handle the graphics !!

what is the highest resolution this game supports ? 1600 or HD resolution? is it buggy on win 7? cause the story is supposed to be awesome!! right now chaos theory is ma fav splinter cell game!!

I know Chaos Theory has issues on 7 but I have no idea about DA.wooooode

i was wondering about DA aswell, have the bugs all been patched? are there unofficial patches?

No surprise to me having troubles with SCDA on Windows 7.

I'm trying to play it on XP and have had the odd graphical glitch (google "double agent colored spots") but suffered only a couple of crashes before I was unable to proceed past the Shanghai tower autosave point ... which causes a runtime error that crashes the game preventing further progress.

There's lots of advice around the net ... but it all seems to be of the "may work for some" nature and its a case of trial and error.

SCDA UPDATE:

Well I DID manage to get past the ledge save point and hooked up for another abseil down the building ... not sure what it was but here's what I did:
1) went to the gave save file location and deleted a few superfluous saves (based on date/time) before starting the game and
2) found a save BEFORE Sam started abseiling down the tower and then proceeded without making any saves myself until the dreaded spot was reached and the game autosaved without a problem.
My theory is that doing a save or quick save AFTER the commencement of abseiling MAY be the problem. I also completed the safe opening without any problems ... this is another well known problem area in the PC game.

BTW ... I have scoured "all" the forums atUbisoft, Nvida (9800GT is my card) and elsewhere ... a buggy bugger of a game ... still I will press on having enjoyed the first 3 titles ... check my reviews of them.
