I have checked the forums already and can't find a solution to my problem. I'm not very technical and this will show. My PC is only 3 years old. Here goes:
I played Vice City on this PC two years ago. It then stopped working (the game would start up fine but when I went to start/load a game the pink bar just sat there and the game crashed). So I decided to buy it from Steam. Same exact problem.
I tried everything I could come up with... opened some DEP thing and made it open Vice City.
I tried every single compatibility setting available.
Added "run as administrator"
I tried to change my own screen resolution but it can't go that low (640X480).
So now the game won't even start, I get the common issue that says "Cannot find 640X480 video mode".
I've watched Youtube videos and checked this forum (including Steam's) and cannot find a solution.
I don't understand why this game would have worked 2 years ago but not now.
I'm desperate to play. Please help me.

I’m sorry I haven’t replied, I didn’t get an email telling me I got a response to my earlier question. This is in reference to what Jefferson Ore suggested I do. He told me to go to Startup in that menu and uncheck all of the items. And I said I only see “open task manager” there. Here is the screenshot:
