Title: Black screen when starting MTA VC - WIndows Vista
Post by: 3dmonkey3000 on January 13, 2008, 04:44:56 am

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

Do the next:
uninstall it
Install only the VC client, don't install the admin, error reporting and all that crap.
Run MTA as admin. And don't forget to set compatibilities.

If this don't work, then the problem must be with your VC game.

Try and obtain a new gta-vc.exe.
