It isn't a 'backup' copy of vc, is it? And have you tried running it on a different PC? What's the exact error message that comes up?

Umm well this is what google gave me:
Delete your gta-vc.set file.
Somehow get the game to load up in a resolution other than that (I could mail you my gta-vc.set if you wanted to do that)
Install a different graphics card which supports that resolution.
