GTA VC slow using Win7

[dougal]

I remember GTA VC working great on my old P4 2.4Ghz with WinXP.

But today tried playing it on my Win7 PC and when there is a lot of action on screen it is really slowing down.

Spec of my PC is Core2Duo with 2Gb DDR2 Ram and XFX Geforce 8800GTX and running Windows 7.

I have no idea why its slowing... Installed DirectX 9.0C and tried updating the vid card drivers but it still slows. Everything else works great.

Any help will be appreciated

Tried the compatibility mode but it made no difference.

I tried to see if there are known compatibility problems but could find anything

I may try installing XP on another hd.. It doesnt make sense because my whole system and graphics card and all is much more powerfull than it was in 2002 :S

Are there still compatibility options in Windows 7? If so, you could try running the game in XP compatibility mode and see whether that makes a different. It might force it to use a different version of DirectX which is more compatible with the game or your hardware.
