Maybe if you had a LEGAL copy there wouldn't be a error. It is against the rules to discuss that stuff here. Go out and buy it!

oh **** my bad... well anyway i just bought vice city and now it works!

[jsonpa]

probably did have all the right .exe files for the game and also I would run a virus scan on your system never know when ******** place viruses with a game

[Spyda]

if you look on the vice city discs, the files are in data files, not exes

if you try to copy them it will just say cyclic redundancy error

Watch the language jsonpa, this is a family forum.

vice city is a great game! good thing i bought it! Guys seriously, buy it! best 50 dollars i ever spent :)

i wouldnt trust kazaa anyway,
1. People think its really funny to put viruses in with stuff
2. You dont know what file you are actually downloading
3. When new stuff come out, people rename the files to that new program, so you download it, get the totally wrong thing, a virus and they get 150 Patricipation points.

to sum it up, kazaa is a big risk

Well put spyda. The very little bit that I do use Kazza Lite, I always run a virus scan on any downloads and I'm always careful about paying close attention to file sizes.

i ony,really use kazaalite for either new exclusive music i liked off MTV or songs i cant find in a shop, as with mp3s there isnt really a virus risk, just 15 minutes wasted
