snk Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi, I'm running on Windows XP SP2 and my computer settings is: Athlon 64 3000+ @ 2025 MHz, 2x512 MB ram, GeForce 6600GT, MB Abit AV8. I have recently downloaded gta1 from official rockstar page and now i've got a huge problem. When i start the game, everything is moving damn slowly (however, when i switch the frame limiter off, game is too fast), no matter what resolution i choose. Someone told me to try start gta in a 'Windows 95 mode' but there occurs an error: 'Unable to link to KERNEL32.DLL', and then: 'Cannot load WDIRxxF.DLL'. Any other game starts in that mode with no problem. Please help cuz i really want to play this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snk Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 It is slightly better, but game is still not playable. I'm waiting for another suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snk Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Already tried it. I'm almost sure that the 'KERNEL32.DLL error' must be handled... somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulVal85 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 if you have selected compatibility with win 95 you must uncheck this option. not work with compatibility mode. update your driver of motherboard, video card, and sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galilleo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Try to switch for WindowsXP SP1 comapatibility mode. Its working for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEALUX Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 That suggestion will only work for Vista or 7. I am curious if there is a fix for this problem. This is why I am not looking forward so much to playing the game, a thing which I would really like to do in the near future.
