GTA3 crack does not seem to do anything!

[elvis the gypsy]

Hey,

I have a backup of GTA3 with the crack on it. When you attempt to play the game without the CD then you just get the usual error message. When I apply the crack and try to play it, the egg timer appears for about 2 seconds and then it goes away. Nothing happens after that and GTA3 has not started up.

What the heck is the problem and how do I fix it? I have tried several cracks and I always get the same result.

Thanks In Advance
