Game Starts, crashes.

i have the steam version of GTA vice city.  I installed it and the multiplayer.  I am able to find servers for the multiplayer and when i click a server to join, my vc starts but than when it goes to the loading screen, it makes a "ding" noise than when i hit the "enter" key on my keyboard, vice city just turns off.  It only said i had an error once, and it said i had the wrong version of vice city.

Any ideas whats wrong?

O and it also asks me ( VC-MP ) to locate my GTA : Liberty City Mod installation folder....even though I DLed the vc-mp...not the libertycity mod.

Thanks

It doesn't work with the steam version, because the structure of the steam version is alot different.

I heard that someone had get SA:MP working with Steam version of SA, he had used a crack as a downgrader to version 1.00. I wonder if that sort of thing is possible with VC (or even SA)..? I dont personally have Steam version of VC or SA, so i dont have experience with this, just guessing and repeating what i've read.
