The writing on GTA 3 PC cannot be viewed on XP does anyone know what I need to fix this. Is there a Patch available from MS if so which one?

I have XP and I could see the text on my nVidia based card

Anyway the update that you're looking for can be found here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Patch/Q306676/WXP/EN-US/Q306676_WXP_SP1_x86_ENU.exe

BTW This link was taken from the the Read Me file for GTA3

Thanks m8 it wasn't for me so I never saw the read me file. (I don't read them anyway)
