Black screen when Starting game - Windows Vista

[Guest]

Hello,

I am running Multi Theft Auto Vice CIty on Windows Vista.

henever i click Start game in MTA, it takes me to the menu, as it should, when i click Start Game in the GTA Vice CIty menu, it goes to a black screen, instead of loading the game..

GTA Vice City works fine on its own, without MTA.

I have User Account Control Disabled.

I have reinstalled Multitheft Auto Multiple times, all lead to the same problem. The same packages on the XP pc next to me works perfect!

Here's a picture of what happens after i use CTRL + ALT + DEL and click End Task on GTA_VC.exe

You'd be surprised, Vista runs perfect on this computer, with Aero and all.

By the way, can we get back on to the topic.

The only fix is to keep trying to relaunch MTA.

Here's the solution my friend -> viewtopic.php?f=44&t=21565 (something to do with changing the priority).

I somewhat doubt that that will help me here...
