    Is anyone here able to run Splintercell Conviction with their Mobile Geforce Card?

    My ASUS G2S has a Geforce 8700m GT card, and when I try to launch Splinter Cell Conviction a black screen flashes for a split second and then disappears to desktop.

    I have read that Conviction doesn't support Mobile Laptop video cards, yet I also read that many people are playing the game on their laptop. This is really frustrating.

    I don't know if that's the latest driver or not, but you might as well try another version.

    Also update directx.

    You might even want to try modding a desktop driver and force it to install.
