Anychance you've got a period in your windows username?
If so then that's the problem, GTA SA has the same problems btw, another option could be that your user permissions block the game from creating the save file/folder.
If that doesn't help there's some guides on modifying the .exe which was originally intended to fix corrupted save files but it has fixed the problem you're mentioning in some cases as well, I would save this option for last however since you'll probably need to do some proper research on how to do it before attempting it.
Unfortunately not - all one word, with no punctuation. Your post makes me wonder whether I should have a look for an "alternative" exe file though. Perhaps it's another case of the pirates getting a version that works, while genuine customers get a robust shafting with ill conceived DRM?
heh, tbh I haven't played the legit version ever when vice city was released I was still sailing the seas since those where the days that drm was really buggy and gamebreaking, but I wasn't referring to a cracked version, there's some fixes out there that require you to modify the .exe file yourself to dodge some compatibly problems.
2 things I remembered that should be easy to try, first one is checking the save location folder properties to make sure it isn't "read only" which is something a lot of older non steam games struggle with and going by your description that just might be it, alternatively you could try running the exe in compatibility mode (xp should work right?) this might fix it if the game is unable to even create a save file folder.
Try deleting your gta_vc.set file, which should be located in (assuming you're using a Windows OS)...
Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\GTA Vice City User Files
At times the file becomes corrupted or is set to use a distinct save-location than desired which leads to this issue, among others. The game will create a new file on reboot; I should warn you that this will also reset your controls to the default.
