GTA3Freak-2001 22 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Is it a certain event ingame that makes the exception occur or is it random? Anyway have you tried reinstalling the game? If not try that. Link to post Share on other sites

Johnnyboy 5 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I get the same errror but only when I'm getting the money from the money icon at the Vercetti Estate. I re-installed it a hundred times but it didn't work a damn. I think there actually is no solution for that kind of error Master Headhunter. I see many people post about that error and ends with no results. I really want to know when that error will be fixed. Just try to avoid the thing in the game that let that error occur. PS: Sorry, off-topic but what OS do you have Master Headhunter? It looks really weird that Task-bar and so on... Link to post Share on other sites
GTA3Freak-2001 22 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 PS: Sorry, off-topic but what OS do you have Master Headhunter? It looks really weird that Task-bar and so on... I would say its XP with a different theme to it. If nothing else fixs this problem, I would suggest you do a reformat. Backup everything you want to keep and boot from your HP Recovery Disc(I assume your PC is a HP from the HP Center taskbar at the top) and choose the option to put your PC back to how it was when you bought it. I had a similar problem with my HP I used to have where GTA3 would give an error like yours and doing what I mentioned above fixed the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
M. H. Hunter III 135 Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 ok, i'll do a reformat tomorrow, that give time to do backup, crap i want. and yes this is a different theme on my computer Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf68k 10 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Did you install any mods or do anything to change VC from it's original installed version at all? I think reformatting is a bit excessive. At might also be a video drivers issue. Link to post Share on other sites
