Yup, at that resolution too; provided Vice City supports that resolution. I'm not sure so you'll have to check up on that.

my vice city du work even aftr gettin a 1.5 GB nvidia graphics

I think I figured out why the GTA games freeze/mouse freeze randomly, the problem is every now and then when you load a game/play for a while, the game freezes or the mouse freezes right after the game loads, the CPU usage will jump to 100% causeing the program to "not respond"-thus causing you to have to ctrl + alt+del to get to the task manager to end the program. I have confirmed this a few times, because EVERY time either the game freezes or the every now and then when the mouse freezes, I hit ctrl+alt+del and go to the task manager to end program, and when I click on the Processes tab, it shows 100% CPU usage for a couple of seconds, then goes back down to around 4% like it normally is. So the problem lies with the game trying to use too much CPU power-it shouldn't be anywhere near 100% usage normally, since I have a Dual-Core Processor.

I possibly found the problem, but have not found a solution other than the ctrl+alt+del method. This goes for III, VC, and SA, and is for Vista AND XP SP3. Hope this helps.

Reinstall the game and delete the gta_vc.set file from the User Files folder.

If that doesn't help, at what point does it freeze? Have you tried running the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode?

[jaky2008]

it freezes at the loading bar after i start/load a game
i have Vista

[Girish]

Have you tried the two things that I suggested in my previous post?

[Zelos302]

I have a HP Vista computer and GTA 3 and Vice City doesn't work. When I installed GTA 3 and tried to play it, the game came up as audio. So it was only the soundtrack of the game. When I tried downloading Vice City at halfway it said "Insert disc 2" when there's only one install disc and one play disc. So I put in the play disc then and it kept on going. But it never finished and it would probably have come up as audio anyway. San Andreas works fine and it's a 1 cd disc so maybe it's something with that. I have all 3 WoW games installed as well and thats about 10 discs in one game. And the irony here is that San Andreas was the only game of the 3 that didn't have poster or manual which it should have.

Help would be good by PM.

You do realize that this topic is from 2007, when Vista first came out right? There has been a lot of updates for drivers and a SP1 and a SP2 for Vista, as well as a SP1 for Windows 7. So, of coarse the game is going to run better now, since there are newer and better Video cards, Processors, and drivers/updates.

Also, Why did you bump a year old topic without adding anything helpful to it?

[Godfather1940]

all i no is it works on win 7 i had it on my win 7 laptop last year

But drivers suck balls, i am on xp now and it is slow as f*ck

I'm glad I read this. Thanks for posting this. I had given up on trying to get Vice to work to even a satisfactory degree on Vi$ta, but I might go dust it off....whenever I find out where in hell I put it.

There is no way (without modifications) you can have in garage a tire-proof vehicle.
Even though it might be before you parked it in a garage, one you open it again, it will not be tire-proof anymore. The same goes to the windows.
Sorry, it's just how game engine works.
