Kuronja Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Sorry if it was posted before but i couldn't find it. When i run the vice-city.exe , the screen blacks out for a second, my resolution drops (to 800:600 i think) and the game won't start. There is a gtavc tab in the taskbar (Similar problem to the one in introduction only the gtavc tab does not go away) and everything just stays still. All i can do is open task manager and end the program from there) My configuration is more than enough for Vice city because i have already played it before on the same computer (reinstalled windows a few times after that) I am running Windows XP SP3. PS. I have read the introduction and there was a similar problem and it said the solution is to delete the gta_vc.set from "my doc\gta user something\" but i dont have a gta_vc.set file over thre. Help anybody? PPS I tried all the compatibility modes, none of them works. Thanks in advance!

Spuds725 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 you don't have a gta set file because it hasn't started up yet.. Have you tried reinstalling the game (kind of obvious)- maybe something is buggered up. Also... since you have re-installed windows a few times-- are your hardware drivers all up to date as well as the other stuff that needs to be up to date... I'd try to disable a bunch of background running applications (and see if something is causing a conflict)-- XP likes to have alot of stuff in the background and almost all are not needed. Sorry this isn't very helpful but since it worked before-- something is obviously different this time.
