That's funny last night I was thinking the exact opposite of what the MADD organization came up with. I mean the game tells you look this is NOT safe you really should get a taxi.
And I not actually knowing how to hail a taxi yet decided to risk it. Sure enough it was a BIG mistake.
The car was insanely hard to control I got within viewing distance of one patrolling policeman and he called in a ton of them to put me out of commission.
I think Rockstar came through in this virtual world with a true to life scenario showing that drunk driving is not the way to go.
I was thinking the whole time...next time I will take the cab this is crazy! What a waste of my time as I had not saved the game recently!
If you de-install every problem software and take some of the advice above and run the setup and program as administrator most all your "bugs" and "problems" will go away.
Vista is locked down you look like a user with admin rights but your not. If you user name is not "Administrator" then you have less then admin rights no matter what group your user account belongs too.
You won't realize it's a rights issue. Because your program is trying to do something it is not allowed to do and Windows nor the authors of the application were ready for it to do that.
Right click on the setup.exe of the application Run as Admin.
When you get a shortcut to run the program go in and give it admin rights by right clicking the short cut and adjusting it's properties.
IF that doesn't solve all of your problems start trying the compatibility modes.
I don't think Vista is a problem as much as no one knows how to use it properly.
