Strange, but okay. Please report back if you encounter any more issues.

Deleted the spam post and your reply (since it seemed to contain only a retort to the spam post).

Yes, that will remove them.

I know it glitches up the map and cutscenes (including MTA's spawn menu) which is why I only incorporated the crosshair fix into MTA 0.5r2. As far as I know though, having the "full" fix shouldn't conflict with MTA 0.5r2. You do not need to be running 1.1 unless you have a very old graphics card. Try a 1.0 no-CD.

You're certain your copy of Vice City is unmodified? What widescreen fix are you speaking of? Vice 1.0 and 1.1 should have fixed widescreen crosshairs with 0.5r2.

You must forward ports 2003 and 2126, I think 2003 is TCP and 2126 UDP. If you want your server to show up on Game-Monitor, you must register your server on their site. Use your real IP. The anti-trainer system? Are you referring to the client kicking you with the message "Disconnected: Suspected Trainer Usage"?

The missing OCX error is because the Server Config Tool is written in Visual Basic 6.0 and Windows 7 no longer bundles the necessary runtime libraries to run such applications. If you Google for the missing OCX files and place them in the directory with the SCT, it will function. I used to have a zip of these, but I guess I deleted them. I have revised mtaserver.conf's description for clarity, so you may simply want to open it with Notepad and configure your server that way.

Are you picking the correct resolution for your monitor? You should be picking 1440 x 900 x 32 (WIDESCREEN).

Uh, I don't follow exactly. You have two monitors; when you launch MTA, a small dialog box should pop up and give you an option of which screen to pick to play on. You shouldn't need to unplug anything. Have you installed the two items I mentioned and checked for a D3D9.dll in your GTA:SA directory?
