smaller compress it, whatever anyting that works.
--is the vista too advanced or somthin?

Have you installed the drivers for your video card and checked for any
direct X updates. (you don't give your system spec which might help) Try
running in compatibility mode. Have you checked the GTA forums for info.

If you right click on the shortcut you use to start the game, select
properties. One of the tabs should be labelled "compatibility" (as it is in
XP) there you can select a previous operating system version.

Hope that helps
