for anyone asking about the MSS32.DLL Grand Theft Auto Vice City problem, spread this answer around:
if you downloaded a no-cd crack and iso's or whatever, you take the crack from the iso or the disk you burned it on and replace the original execution file that the program installed(the one in the program folder). DONT run a replacement dll, the dll that the program installs is fine. for those of you it worked for may not be running windows XP sp2. for those of you who are running sp2, this is your answer: you may have noticed that depending on where you got the crack, it was probably named the same title as the execution file in the program folder, which was for good reason. Just toss the crack in the folder and click YES to replace the old .exe file. You will, however need the original dll that the program installs during installation.
dont worry you wont get any Wrong CD crap once you fix it. whether or not you have winamp does not matter, and unless you continue to recieve problems there is not need to use software that fixes the dll problem. you also dont need to uninstall Winamp. if you do have more prob's then uninstall GTA-VC completely and reinstall following the directions.
your VICE CITY will now run directly from the crack so change your shortcut accordingly.
this fix will probably work for any XP sp2 users or anyone who could not fix the game with a replacement dll
