I've got Vice City. Put it on a multi dvd (dvd+rw) with GTA3 and True Crime.

Everything was working great. Have been playing it for weeks.

BUT: the other night I clicked on Vice City to load form the multi game menu (MXM) - it loaded into the intro. Clicked to contine (to the point where the load bar comes along the nottom of the screen). NOW, everytime I play it gets to a tiny little bit along the load bar and the game freezes. Doesnt get any futher.

First though wast dirty disc, cleaned it - the same

Burnt again DVD+RW - same point

Burnt on a DVD-R - exactly the same point.

Burnt on it's own disc - same

Deleted all save games (:-() - no change. Freezes a tiny little bit into the load after the intro.

Fixed XBOX clock - still the same.

I've been playing this game for weeks with no problems, I appear to have no other problems with any games - what is wrong, this is the best game on the XBOX and it wont load again.

Check to see that the In Game Reset option has been disabled in the settings menu...the option appears 3 times in various submenus...so make sure you get them all.
