Hi to all experts...

I'm a teenage boy from India. I'm 17.
It's my first post and I'm a big fan of all GTA games.



Specifications of my PC:


1. Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

2. My Processor: AMD FX 4100 Quad-Core Processor

3. RAM: 4 GB (3.75 GB Usable).

4. My Graphic Card and its size: 2 GB ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics Card



I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows XP SP2.
It was working with no problem on Windows XP.
When I installed WIndows 7 Ultimate, It was already
on other drive and I was able to run it but faced too much problems. I uninstalled it because mouse was not working properly and many more others were there...

I've a setup of Vice City given by my friend. I don't think it's from original CD-ROM.
Whenever I attempt to install it, it runs perfectly for a while then a command prompt appears and shows the files being extracted.

But when command prompt appears and shows the extracting files second time, a window appears showing "This item is incompatible with 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate." or similar.

It shows this message for every item. Then what? I can't start game. It doesn't open at all! No black screen, no even a flash on screen!
I've tried two times to install it.

I think it happens because those files are 16-bit.

Is there any technique for installing Vice City on a 64-bit Operating System?

Could you please explain what you meant at this line? So, is it pirated?
Either way, try running the setup in XP SP3 or Vista SP1 / SP2 compatibility modes.

As pointed out, this does NOT appear to be a purchased disk install--

Please purchase the game and if you have any issues installing it we will be more then happy to assist you with any problems you may have.

GTAFORUMS.COM is NOT a Warez site (nor support) site-- we support the right for game publishers to make a profit from the products they create so they can create bigger and better games for us to play.

I have to lock this thread....
