I find if an older game or program cannot be installed by
way of the CD then use "Program Compatibility Wizard" to install it.If the game is installed, but will not start by way of
the CD, then when inserting the CD hold down the left
Shift key for approx. 15 sec. to keep AutoRun from taking over.
Now click the game in the "All Programs" list. Should start.
---------------
From a Microsoft web page:If an older application gives you trouble when running
Windows XP, you can set the compatibility properties
manually so that the program runs in a different mode,
such as Windows 95, or in a different display or resolution
setting. To set the compatibility properties for a program:
1. Right-click the executable or the program shortcut to the
executable, and then click Properties.
2. Select the Run this program in compatibility mode check box.
3. From the list, select an operating system that the program
runs in comfortably.
4. If necessary, also change the display settings and/or
resolution, or disable the Windows XP visual themes.
Run the program again when you?re finished changing the
settings. Adjust the compatibility settings again if the
program is still not running smoothly: a program that's
unhappy on Windows 2000 may flourish on Windows 98.

Im having problems w/ GTA3 on WinXP. First of all it will not let me load my previously saved games. It will act like its saving it but once the loading bar is complete it makes this *ding* noise and freezes up and i have to shut it down. What is wrong? And another problem is during game play and the movies on GTA3 the picture is pretty blurry. If you know whats wrong plz help, thx.

get the save game fix at http://www.magenheimer.com/gta3help/download.htm
also go to the visual settings and turn trails off may be the problem with the blurs

That game has poor visuals. It is not your PC. You should be able to save the games though. You park in the garage and press esc and choose save game and it should show a list of available slots. I am unimpressed with the game myself.It is fun to beat the hookers to death. But the driving part sucks and I have a joy stick. I think it was 50$ wasted

Well ive played GTA3 for PS2 b4 but not for comp. And that site "http://www.magenheimer.com/gta3help/download.htm" did not help my load game problem. My problem is onces i save i can load the game.

Two ways to fix the save loading problem is to
1. Install the gta3 patch.
2. Delete gta3.set out of your My Documents\GTA3 User Files folder.If you delete gta3.set you will have to reset your audio/video settings.
To fix the blocky text problem read the readme.txt file in the gta3 folder, it has a link to the fix.
Hope this helps,
