GTA Vice City Exception code: 0xc0000142

[Cosmin_13]

I have a GTA Vice City backup that I made when game worked good with mods, no crash. My pc automatically upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and when I downloaded GTA Vice City backup, it doesn't work more, even if it used to work. Using event viewer, crash report shows this:

I also tried to replace that d3d8.dll with original file, but then game starts and crashes during loadscreen. Could anyone help me?
