GTA3...great game!
Hi, Alex. I also had some graphical glitches at first with GTA3.
First off, make sure you've downloaded and installed the latest retail patch
for the game (v1.1).
http://www.3dgamers.com/games/grandtheftauto3/
Also, in the readme.txt file, it mentions that you need DirectX 8.1...got
that installed?
Finally, (and this was the one that fixed the problem for me...), the readme
mentions...
~~~
"Windows XP + nVIDIA based cards (possibly other brands):
We have found a possible problem with Windows XP that manifests itself
as graphical problems both in the game menu and also during game play.
We have traced this problem to be a Windows XP problem.
Technically this problem is solved by the use of a newer version of
d3d8.dll than is shipped on CD with Windows XP. (The version on the
Windows XP CD that has problems is 5.1.26000.0 - versions tested
without error include 5.1.2600.15 and 5.1.2600.29)
Currently the only way we know to update this dll file is to install
the Windows XP Patch: "The Computer Cannot Enter Standby or Hibernate
If a Direct3D-Based Screen Saver Is Running (Q306676)" downloadable
from the following Web Site:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Patch/Q306676/WXP/EN-US/Q306
676_WXP_SP1_x86_ENU.exe.
This update may in the future be available as part of an official
Windows XP Service Pack, a Windows XP Compatibility Update, or possibly
a DirectX 8.1 update."

If you haven't already tried all of the above, let us know how you get on.
