You should delete gta_vc.set in GTA VICE CITY USER FILES folder.

hmm thats weird...so this is the first time you installed GTA Vice City then.

What Model number is your laptop, or better yet, just right click my computer, press properties. write here the CPU model/GHz (or MHz) and RAM. Then, right click your desktop and press properties, now press settings tab, and it'll say something in this format

Monitor name on Video card

Multiple Monitors on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300

for example thats what mine says

Also tell us your Operating System and Service Pack for example Windows XP Service Pack 3, Vista Home Premium SP1 etc etc. thats also in the same window with your CPU and RAM information.

I'd presume this isn't the issue but if we can rule this out, then it'll narrow down the problems.

ah. im guessing GTA vice city has some problem with Vista. Try running in XP compatibility mode.

Right-click on your GTAVC shortcut, and then click on the Compatibility page. Tick on the checkbox that says Run this program in compatibility mode. From there you can select the OS mode in which you would like to run the game under.
