chris82 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 More proof that Vista is AIDS. Make sure you're running both gta-vc.exe and vc-mp.exe as Administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstarrem Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Ok, look: You should disable UAC if you play games a lot, it's a bit of a security risk but if you have an antivirus/firewall you should be fine. Disabling UAC will let you have administrator privileges over everything, so I suggest doing that. Here's the link for instructions: http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm After you do that, I suggest completely reinstalling Vice City/VC-MP, I mean completely. First just uninstall it - at the end if it asks you to restart, you should restart. After that go to C:/Program Files/Rockstar Games/ and delete the GTA Vice City folder there permanently. After you do this download CCleaner: http://ccleaner.com/ and run the cleaner part of it with no programs running. After that click the "Registry" tab on the side, click "Scan For Issues" and after its done click Fix selected issues... It will ask you to make a backup of the registry, do it in case anything fucks up. After all of this is done restart your computer and install Vice City the way the installer shows you too. Do the full installation and not anything like Custom, just do the full. After that I want you to make a backup of Vice City. Go to C:/Program Files/Rockstar Games/ and right click "GTA Vice City" or whatever the folder is called and hit "copy". After that go to your Documents folder and hit Ctrl + V and let it copy the files into there. Next you may install VC-MP. Post here your results. Please note that VC-MP's GUI windows aren't coded for vista. In order to close the VC-MP window you need to CTRL + ALT + DELETE and end the process vcmp.exe, or else you'll get crappy runtime errors. By the way, if you had Multi Theft Auto installed, VC-MP conflicts with it. I mean, it just doesn't run, even on XP. Pick from one of them and install. Post your results.

Charger Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) Yeah I have Vista too, and this is the only thing that bothers me, but theres a quick way take those pop ups out. When they come out, just hold enter and its gone, real easy. Vista is real good, just get use to it.. Edited December 16, 2007 by Charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunter88888 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Best Solution Ever: Get XP. Simple as that. And if you miss the Vista feel, get a pack that makes it look like/act like Vista. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Best? Yeah.. why not spend another $70 on an OEM. The best solution usually is free, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter88888 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 LOL I never said anything about buying XP... *sinister laugh* and what's OEM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Original equipment manufacturer. It's what Dell, Acer, HP, Packard Bell and all those others use. Basically it's Windows with a slightly different licence (it's only alowed to be installed on one computer. The only reason you'd be allowed to install it on another one would be if your MoBo broke or something like that). Vista Ultimate retail is 550 EUR here. Vista Ultimate OEM is just 130 EUR. So if you're building your own it's best to buy an OEM. So then you're a PC manuacturer and accept that you are responsible for the system. MS doesn't give any support for OEM versions.
