Alright so every time I go to adjust the resolution in GTAIII and sometimes in Vice City, I always get this error.

I dont even know why I'm getting the screenshot at 648*480 since my resolution is 1024*768, why am I getting this?

My current specs are (Grandma's computer)

Windows XP Media Center Edition.
1 GB of Ram
128 MB Intel 82915G Integrated GFX
1.7 Ghz processor

please guys help me.

Update graphics drivers. Make sure you have the latest versions of Direct X and what is the Ares thing?

I put the latest graphics drivers in, I'm downloading DirectX 9.0c right now, I dont have vista so I cant run DirectX 10

and that resolution is actually 768x1024x16 which makes it even more hilarious lol.

Some bloke over at GTAF had the same error, but at a different time:

"Ok! I solved my problem. What helped is the Windows 98 compatibility option on GTA3.EXE."

well I'll try it and see if it works, thanks, keep em coming guys!

EDIT: Worked guys, thanks spoof!

EDIT 2: Doesnt work for GTA III, works for Vice City though, but when I do that, it says "Please insert disc 2 or press escape to exit" you know, those low budget error messages, so if anyone can find me a NO CD patch that would be great.
