GTA3 missing DLL file

I recently purchased GTA3 but have been unable to play it, when I try to run the program I get the error messaage "A Required .DLL file, MSS32.DLL was not found" it then ditches me back to the desktop, any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm tearing my hair out not being able to play this superb game.

MSS32.dll is a file that has something to do with your graphics card, its a Microsoft File, if you reinstall windows or your graphics card you should be able to play it, if not, i havent a baldy how you could get it to work...

complete rubbish!

mss32.dll belongs to 'Miles Sound System' (-> so nothing from M$)

Several games (eg. Half-Life/Counter-Strike, C&C Renegade, MOH:AA) use this instead of DirectSound.

If you have one of this games then try copying this file to your gta3-directory.
