Hi guys.I have grand theft auto vice city and it used to run fine on my system,but after i installed service pack 2 on my windows xp home edition and fired up the game it showed up its usual cd icon,but it never gets beyond that.In short,vice city is not running on SP2 :!: Please help :!: :(

it runs fine after uninstalling the service pack,but i want to keep the service pack.

Did you try just reinstalling the game after copying the savegames in the My Documents folder? It seems to work just fine on my SP2 machine.
