me Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 What you're supposed to select is your gta-vc.exe it should be at C:\Program Files\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe Link to comment
Alex3305 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 If you have an restricted account on Xp you must run it first time @ an admin account and play it then.. Then you can play it on a restricted account Link to comment

Magus Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Mine was really slow too, but I got more ram. It was still slow the first time it ran, but after that it like starts automatically. Link to comment
me Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Ya, the quick startup the second time is because (or so I'm told) all the game data has already been loaded. Link to comment
Magus Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yeah, im just not too sure why the game loads so slowly, my roommate has it on his computer and it loads in like 2 seconds, mine takes a good 30 seconds and my computer is set up for gaming more than his, he just has a factory dell...

me Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 It may be fragmented files, slower memory/hard drive (though you said that it was made for games)... Very odd Link to comment
Magus Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Well, not necessarily made for games, just I've actually added stuff to make it more of a gaming machine then my roommate...Maybe I'll defragment this afternoon or some shit...God its going to take a long time...80 gigs Link to comment

Robpol86 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 gta-vc.exe IS THE GAME. w/o it, u cant execute vice city. do this, go 2 the vc shortcut, riteclick, properties, and under the "shortcut" tab, click "find target" Link to comment
BrianHodge86 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 The default install path of Vice City PC version is C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City. The gta-vc.exe is in that folder unless you changed your install procedure in the beginning. Try looking in that directory. Link to comment
Guest Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 got that problem too but u have it though if the game works Link to comment
fuku Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 r u sure ur logging in as an admin on ur computer? some files are hidden from guests. i dont see what else could be wrong... Link to comment
trx Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 0k this is getting gay. i tryed the search thing. only came up with 3 files: GTa_vc.set , gta soundtrack , and gta user files. no GTA-vc.exe. to my computer...it doesnt exsist. i need help fast. if u got an answer help me plz! Yea it's totally gay. Computers should stop being gay. You do not have the folder options set to display (known) file extentions. (the .exe) Try looking for the file 'gta-vc' instead, it will have a pink icon with a lady on it. Another solution would be to buy a straight computer, I don't think gay computers like MTA much.
