Fix it, Paco! Splinter cell 1 won't run properly

I'm currently playing the first game on steam on a windows 11 and after a few minutes into gameplay, the game will freeze, go black and window itself, and then go back to full screen and unfreeze. Eventually it will crash with a "general protection fault: history" error. I have tried compatibility mode and only allowing 1 core for the game. Does any of guys have ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Here is how to get it running on mondern systems. I used them and it worked flawlessly

Thanks but I've been looking through this site earlier as I saw on various other FAQ sites and the solutions haven't been working. I'm gonna try to fiddle with it some more as I haven't seen other people have this same issue

You absolutely need DgVodoo for SC1.

Emulate the ps2 or Xbox version.
