nVida 6600 256mb & Splinter Cell Games - Problem

First, video specs: GeForce 6600, 256mb, nVida Forceware 91.47,
DirectX 9.0c


I play the 3 "Splinter Cell" series games:

1) "Splinter Cell"
2) "splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow"
3) "Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory"

I've had all 3 games since they came out. When I was using my old
GeForce 5400 with DirectX 8x all 3 had no video problems.

But when I played these game with my current video specs there is a
problem in (and this is important) games 1 & 2 only.

All 3 games have missions that include spotlights and you should see
the light beams sweep the area. Examples: game-1, a fenced-in yard at
a meat packing plant; game-2, rooftop on the way to penetrate a TV
station, game-3, flying robots in Korea.

In games 1 & 2 you do not see the spotlight beams, in game 3 you do.
Reminder, this is with the same hardware and drivers.


So, is there anyone else out there that players games 1 & 2 with a
GeForce 6600? Do you see this problem?




And, yes, I've contacted both UBI & nVidia. UBI blew me off with
"canned answers" and nVida has not answered yet.
