Splinter Cell Double Agent problem

[MonsterHunterMaster]

I just got all Splinter Cell (Splinter Cell, Pandora tomorrow, chaos theory and double agent) games for 15 dollar (11€) completely new. I installed all of them so far and also all of them are working, except Double agent. When I open the launcher and click "start Splinter cell double agent", Nothing happens. When I go to the install directory (C:\Games) and open the online .exe for online playing it works, but when I want to open the offline .exe (for single player) an error occurs.

 

First, a window opens which says:

 

Must check

 

 

When I click ok to this window, another window opens. It says:

 

Runtime Error!

 

Program:

 

 

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

 

Has anyone a sollution for this problem or can help me?

 

EDIT: You can ignore this thread, I reinstalled the game and it works now...o_O

No, don't ignore this thread anymore. When I wanted to play the game today, the same errors returned...but the game worked yesterday after reinstalling several times. I used bbens reinstalling article for reinstalling, so this could not be the error..is it possible that the error occurs cuz I use directx.10? The game says it requires dx.9, but also the other Splinter cell games which requires dx.8 or dx.9 , work normally without any errors..I hope someone can help me here.

Download a newer C++ redistributable & try that. Can be reached through google.

Yes, I already tried that. But it did not help. But it seems to be a UAC problem (even though I did not install into default directory). When I opened the task manager I saw the process (even though no window appeared) and there was an UAC thing option checked. I unchecked it and now it seems to work...o_O

Yeah, the first thing to try if an older game doesn't work in Vista/7 is to run it as an administrator. Windows is usually quite good at telling whether a program will need elevated priviledges and popping up a UAC prompt, but it doesn't always get it right.
