GTA Vice City Problem

[aakash]

I have GTA Vice City installed in my computer. I have Windows XP SP1 and the config is
Intel 865, 2.8 Ghz (HT), 256 DDR Ram. When i start a new game and at the first video the game stops and after some 10 sec the message comes smth like this :
" Windows recovered some device faliure. Restart to restore this." HELP ME

In my case it diddn't gave this error. there was some blue screen( not the windows error blue screen) flashing and then back to desktop.

I think gfx cards r a must for playing it.

the same game worked in my friend's pc who had no graphics card. His config was Athlon 2400, 256 DDr Ram ??? Now what?

Run the games again --- after the error occurs go to 'Event Viewer'( under administrative tools) and look for the errors that occured at that time in 'application' & 'system' section--- post them here.

compatibility modes

Also u could try the different compatibilty modes for the exe. right click on the exe select properties. U should see a tab which says compatibility mode. The rest in self explainatory. I would that u try Windows 98/Me mode....
