    Sorry to say this but the source of your issues is probably the Intel IGP.
    Is it a first or second generation Intel Core i3?
    (Example: i3 310m or i3 2310m)

    Games like Vice City should easily run on that configuration. Make sure you have your power settings set to High Performance and the basic things like making sure your Anti-Virus etc isn't scanning in the background.

    Also i'm guessing you're running Windows 7? Vice City has a number of issues in Win7 which can sometimes be fixed by running it in Compatability mode.

    Hope this helps
