Per problemi provate anche qui Forum GMC-MAFIA leggete le info in prima pagina!!
Mafia allegato a Gmc è aggiornato alla vers. 1.2 non necessita di patch
La protezione adottata entra in conflitto con software di emulazione cd/dvd: soluzione disinstallarli (e a volte non basta)
Problemi con driver Indeo:
Scaricate e installate
Problemi grafici-prestazioni: Provate a disabilitare Illuminazione e Trasformazione Hardware salvate e uscite e riavviate. Il gioco scatta pure con una 6800Ultra? Dal setup di gioco disabilitate l'audio, salvate e uscite, lanciate il gioco e se avete miglioramenti nelle prestazioni ecco trovato il colpevole
Problemi di uscita al desktop al caricamento di certe missioni (es. Scampagnata): Provate con driver della vga più vecchi oppure: soluzione un pò drastica, provate sun un pc muletto/partizione con Windows 98se installate Mafia portate il savegame e provate a passare la missione per poi riportare il save sul pc principale. Oppure vi scaricate i save dal prox link

Soluzione By Gorman nel caso di difficoltà d'installazione dei cd di gioco: http://forum.gamesradar.it/showpost....&postcount=409
"crea una cartella Mafia, all'interno della cartella Programmi.
Fatto questo, devi aprire le tre cartelle dove hai copiato il contenuto dei tre CD. Ciascuna conterrà una cartella MafiaGame. Devi copiare il contenuto di questa cartella all'interno della cartella Mafia (quella che hai creato in Programmi).
Ripeti il procedimento per ciascuno dei tre CD (o meglio, per ciascuna delle tre cartelle dove hai copiato il contenuto dei tre CD). Tutte le volte, copia il contenuto della sottocartella MafiaGame dentro la cartella Mafia.
Fatto questo, per settare i parametri di gioco (risoluzione, audio, ecc.) potrai fare doppio clic sul file Programmi/Mafia/Setup.exe. Mentre per lanciare il gioco vero e proprio dovrai fare doppio clic sul file Programmi/Mafia/Game.exe.
Per giocare ricorda che devi avere il CD 1 inserito nel lettore.
Un'alternativa potrebbe essere quella di crearti delle copie del secondo e del terzo CD e tentare di installare dalle copie (il primo, che è quello con la protezione, è sempre necessario sia originale). Comunque, la soluzione qui sopra dovrebbe essere più rapida, anche per quel che riguarda i tempi di installazione."
Problema di crash al desktop all'avvio: Provate a togliere l'adattore per il joypad della ps2
Soluzione a prob. vari da Take2:

che riporto
ma sono in inglese)"I can't get the game to install.
Please try the following below in order, then try again to install or run your software.
1.) Shutdown any other applications running in the background, including Anti-Virus scanners and screensavers. This includes utilities like WatchDog and Crashguard as well. (Most of your icons on the lower right hand of the bottom screen next to the time.) To Close your background applications, use CTRL+ALT+DEL. This will bring up close programs. END TASK on each item except for EXPLORER and SYSTRAY. You will need to repeat for each item. Now when you do this give about 10 seconds in-between hitting END TASK and doing CTRL+ALT+DEL. If you do not you will reboot your system and will have to start this task all from the beginning. If a another window pops up just hit END TASK again. You can also download a 3rd party program called ENDITALL which will shut down your programs all at one time. You can do a internet search for ENDITALL on search engines like Yahoo.com or Google.com.
2.) Empty the C:\Windows\Temp folder on the hard drive. Using Windows Explorer, open the C:\Windows\Temp folder on the hard drive. Press CTRL-A to highlight all the file then press DELETE. Click Yes to delete the files.
3.) Check the bottom (silver) side of the CD for any marks, scratches, smudges, fingerprints or dust particles. If any are found, take a soft damp cloth and wipe the bottom side of the CD starting from the inside and working to the outside. You also may want to see if you can get an exchange for your cd to see if you may just have a defective cd. It would be faster if you went that route first.
4.) We have found that in most cases that the current cd-rom.cdr/cdrw/or dvd rom drive at times does not have updated firmware. Updated firmware is required because most copy protected cd's are updated. Old firmware will not regonize new copy protection. You can go to this website to check the firmware version you have currently on your drive and match it up with what is listed on this webpage.

5.) If you are using Windows 98or SE, turn off Active Desktop if it is on.
6.) In device manager, check the entry labeled Hard disk Controllers. If there are yellow circles with exclamation marks by them, then your system is loading 16-bit drivers for the hard disk controllers. You should check with your system manufacturer or a certified technician to correct this problem, then you should be able to install the game.
7.) (For Windows 98\ME users only) Try disabling DMA on Your CD-ROM drives. Go to the Start button, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click the System icon and, in the System Properties dialog box, select the Device Manager tab. Click the plus sign next to the CD-Rom icon and then double-click the icon for your CD-Rom. Next, click the Settings tab and deselect the DMA check box if it in the Options panel. Click OK twice.
8.) Try Reducing the Cd-Rom Caching below.
Reduce CD-ROM Drive Caching
To reduce CD-ROM drive caching, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click System.
On the Performance tab, click File System. On the CD-ROM tab, move the Supplemental Cache Size slider to the Small position.
In the Optimize Access Pattern For box, click NoRead-Ahead.
Click OK, and then click Close.
When you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.
If the issue continues to occur, proceed to the next method.
Disable Auto-Insert Notification
NOTE: If you disable Auto-Insert Notification, your programs can no longer start automatically. To disable Auto-Insert Notification:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, double-click System.
On the Device Manager tab, click the PLUS SIGN (+) next to CDROM to expand the branch.
Click your CD-ROM drive, and then click Properties.
On the Settings tab, click to clear the Auto Insert Notification check box.
Click OK, and then click OK again.
Close Control Panel, and then restart the computer.
9.) For users who are using Windows XP there is a weblink for SafeDisc & Windows XP issues. You must first uninstall the program (also delete the program folder) then install the patch then reinstall the program.
http://www.xp-erience.org/article.php?sid=959
10.) Windows XP Application Compatibility Update (April 10, 2002):
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q319580
11.) If you are having an Installshield or Ikernel.exe errors with the game, try updating your ikernel.exe file from installshield.com's website.
http://support.installshield.com/kb/...icleid=Q105097
12.) Rename the Installshield folder:
Double-click on My Computer
Double-click on Drive (C
Double-click on Program Files
Right-click on InstallShield Installation Information and left-click on rename. And just rename the folder Old InstallShield Installation Information. Then try the reinstall again.
13.) Don't use copies of the game created or burned with BlindCopy or CloneCD, or any other cdr burning programs because they have also been known to show the data3.cab error.
14.) Your DCOM system files (Microsoft Windows files) are either not installed, are corrupted, have a version mismatch, etc. You should be able to fix it by following the steps below:
A) Download the DCOM executables from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/dcom1_3.asp
B) Once the file is downloaded, then double click on it to start the install..
C) Reboot.
D) Make sure the temporary directory is cleaned out. This is normally C:\Windows\Temp.
E) Make sure no anti-virus software is running in the background.
F) Delete the following directory if it exists: C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Engine G) Re-run setup.
H) If this does not work (it should, according to Install Shield.com, you may try installing the latest version of Internet Explorer (you may need to remove it from Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs first). If that fails, then it has been suggested that reinstalling Windows 98 on top of it's self will fix the issue, as basically some Windows executable files have been corrupted or are mismatched by driver date or file size.
Please be sure to note that this may not a problem with our program, but with the Installer product not being able to run on the computer due to a DCOM corruption.
This problem could be specific to the type of CD-ROM being used, and the drivers installed for it. My recommendation is that you find the very latest drivers for your CD-ROM drive and install the latest ones. OR, you could try copying the entire CD to a hard drive and run the install from there, but you will have to do a Custom install and install everything for that to work (or the game will get confused).
15.) If you have the following programs installed on your system they will have to be uninstalled for the program or game to be installed. They are incompatible with the copy protection on most game or programs.
A. PlayBackup
B. DAEMON Tools
C. InseKtors"
Soluzione by Gorman a errore 4205 cito " Sul sito ufficiale Take 2 consigliano di ridurre di due tacche l'accelerazione audio in dxdiag. Se non funzionano consigliano di eliminarla del tutto. Se non funziona consigliano di disattivare le tre opzioni del pannello Video di dxdiag (accelerazione DirectDraw, accelerazione Direct3D, accelerazione texture AGP), uscire, rilanciare dxdiag, riattivare le tre opzioni e poi uscire ancora. Su un paio di forum francesi ho trovato giocatori che hanno risolto il problema:
1) Installando tutti gli aggiornamenti da Windows Update
oppure
2) Settando la risoluzione a 1024x768 dal programma di Setup. Immagino che qui si tratti più che altro di provare fino a che non si trova il settaggio che va d'accordo con la scheda video e i driver."
