Carlos85G 22 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Your specs surpass by far VC's requirements, but you forgot to add what have you done to the system lately, besides installing Win7. Update drivers and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon King 15 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 Try running as administrator. Also, what version of 7 you have? Home, Professional, Ultimate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Statler 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 I was having problems getting SA to run properly, so I had to set it to Windows XP mode. See if that works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patrick 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) Try running as administrator. Also, what version of 7 you have? Home, Professional, Ultimate? i got home 64 bit the main problem is gta sa itself, i can get vice city to work properly after a reinstall sometimes after i see the nvidia logo, it then turns to a faded nvidia logo, then hear the spray cans then just the nvidia logo Edited September 14, 2010 by patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCoolest2 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2010 Don't know for VC but for my SA, don't know if this has to do with annything, but it says sa has compatible issues with win 7 settings, set the screen to win 7 basic color or whatever, it did that automatically and the game worked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
