If you have SB Live! and during gameplay reboots

[C0bra_]

I was testing vice city after several changes and i noticed this:

 

I was able to play without crashes with following settings:

 

Windows:

 

- Down-clocked Gf4 a bit. (Slide to green in PowerStrip)

- No Anti-Aliasign

- No Anisotropic filtering

- Changed desktop to 1024x768 16-bit

- Removed desktop background image

- Closed ICQ, SpeedFan, MSI Auto-update programs. (All nonsense programs.)

 

Vice City:

 

- Deleted settings file (gta_vc.set)

- Resolution: 800x600 16-bit

- Frame limiter ON

- Draw distance 10 (From left to right)

- Audio Disabled (Autodetect hardware then i changed it to something else)

- Dynamic acoustic modeling OFF

 

After playing 2h without crashes i changed some settings to normal. Sounds still disabled so i think it's the soundcard.

 

At least Creative Soudblaster Live! Users with problems should try to disable sounds.

 

I hope this works for someone.
