snowcloud Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 On newer Nvidia Cards, the graphics fail and just appear garbled, although the rest of the game sounds like it is running fine. You can still access menus and things. I have tried obvious things such as Compatibility modes and resolution changes too. Any way to remedy this? Thanks. I would post a screenshot but the captures return normal looking shots. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sektor Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure if it will fix the graphics problem on those cards but try installing a virtual machine like http://www.virtualbox.org. You will have to install Windows on that virtual machine and then install GTA1 on that image. Edited February 21, 2009 by Sektor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpgunit Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What's your operating system? XP? Vista? OK, I know this is quite a different story, but I tried running some of my old games on an emulator like Virtual PC or VMWare when all compatibility options failed, such as in the case of Madeline 2nd Grade Math, which crashes on Windows 7 beta, although it can run rather seamlessly on XP.

snowcloud Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is a problem on XP and Vista. How do you run GTA on a 'Virtual Machine' then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpgunit Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 This is a problem on XP and Vista. How do you run GTA on a 'Virtual Machine' then? Download the Virtual PC utility from Microsoft. Install it as usual, and then make a virtual machine configuration via the New Virtual Machine Wizard. Install XP on the virtual machine as you would on a real PC, and then try running GTA on your VPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
