Yeah, i checked that but didn't see what one applied to me. The closest i'm guessing is this one:

Crash on client startup

This might be causes by being unable to download the welcome message. This should only happen if the MTA site is down, or you aren't connected to the internet.

But the website is up, and i'm very much online.

I tried:

DontGetLatest=1

but it did not help.

also tried:

[Game-VC]
Version=0
Location=C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe

not sure what else in that list would be for me...

This is my C:\Program Files\Multi Theft Auto\mta.ini:

[Game-VC]
Version=0
Location=C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe

[Main]
DontGetLatest=1

maybe its somthing to do with your firewall, since u tried everything else.

Have you tried using the "search" engine?

There could be other threads around the help section which could help you with your problem.

Freeze when client tries to display dialog asking for game path

There have been a couple of occurence of this, and we'd be interested to see why this is. You can avoid it by manually setting the path in the mta.ini in your game folder (not windows folder anymore). If you have this problem, can you please create a system info profile (Start -> Run -> "systeminfo > c:\sysinfo.txt") (no quotes) then email me the file sysinfo.txt on your c: drive (email is eAi[at]opencoding[dot]net).

For Vice City, your mta.ini should contain (replace the path if necessary):

[Game-VC]
Version=0
Location=C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe

this was taken from THIS thread, for a person with the exact same problem. Now, i've created mta.ini in:

c:\

c:\windows\

c:\program files\rockstar games\grand theft auto vice city\

c:\program files\rockstar games\grand theft auto vice city\MTA\

c:\program files\rockstar games\grand theft auto vice city\multi theft auto\

c:\program files\multi theft auto\

all with the folowing text:

[Game-VC]
Version=0
Location=C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe

and when i start mta, it still gives me the error.

As for the systeminfo thing, i have windows 2000 pro, it didn't come with it...
